Black line on nail

Question

Black line on nail

Asked for Female, 28 Years

My husband has met with an accident 3 years back and it was a minor accident. The flesh beneath the toe nail was hurt and didnt bleed much.After doing the first aid he forgot about it. After some months he noticed a band of black line running straight the toe till the end of the toe. The lines grows as the toe nail grows. It is still there and It is not painfull and dont seem to change colour or size. Could any one please suggest if it is a matter of concern.
