Looks like a big hole to me! Did any crap come out of it? Does it hurt or smell?

Fungal infection?
Best to go see your GP rather than self diagnose/treat

You haven't removed your salford docks for a year?

I think I may have figured out your issue.

Its a fungal infection. Go to your chemist and they will advise and supply what you need to treat it.

Seriously, go see your dr before your foot drops off.

I had something slightly like that last year, and eventually the old top nail dropped off. I've no idea how it was initially damaged, no smell and not weeping, just unsightly. Luckily it was at its worst over the winter.

Uuurrrggghhh. Nuke it!

Get it treated. You will lose the toenail at some point which is actually easier than having to teat the toenail for the infection, but you need to keep the nail bed free of infection whilst the new toenail grows back.

No not at all, they will take a sample of it and send for analysis so they know what they are treating

That looks like a pretty bad case of fungal infection. When the infection is in the nail bed you'll need prescription anti-fungal tablets for maybe a year to properly clear it up. Over the counter creams won't do the job.
