I'm gonna go out on a limb and ask if you dropped something heavy on it? Often trauma to the nail presents as a very dark bruise under the nail, with pressure that can cause pain and separate the nail from the nail bed. If that's the case, then you have to ask yourself if the pain is getting in the way of your everyday life. If so, go see a doc or a podiatrist. If it isn't, then you can just wait for it to pass. Expect it to fall off at some point, but don't worry, it will regrow. It just takes a while.

you may have a broken blood vessel under the nail. that can be caused by an injury from something hard or heavy hitting your toe. since you don't know for sure just watch how it does. if it hurts swells or the toe turns red or starts bleeding or draining. see the doctor. if you are really concerned see the doctor asap

You better see a podiatrist or have your family Dr. refer you to one.
I'm no expert but my husband had the same issue to some degree and it's a fungus if I'm not mistaken.
Don't monkey with it. Have it looked after immediately.
