Black toe nail

2022-05-01 07:39:36
I hit my right leg's toe on a metal piece protruding out of the ground while walking a month back. It pained for day Or two then it was ok. But now I am noticing the toe nails has a black section. There is no pain or discomfort of any kind. Will this go away on its own or any intervention is required? I have attached a pic for reference.
