Dystrophic nail: I would let the discolored thickened nail grow up the edge, it shocked the growth matrix when you hit it- hence growing poorly. Would trim as usual and have patience- should eventually after few rounds of trimming look near or like normal- this is best case scenario. Unless there are other factors stated.
