Hi,
It seems that there might be having toe nail bed infection due to chronic fungal infection.
It seems that cracked and infected nail should be removed from nail bed and afterwards healthy toe nail will grow.
Meanwhile go for one antibiotic medicine course for 5-7 days to cure nail bed infection.
Ok and take care.
