What Causes Pain And Discomfort In Toenail Due To Uneven Growth?

My big toenails are growing unevenly. They re following the normal contour of the toe however the center grows back more slowly or sometimes not at all, resulting in a flat U shape, where the outsides require trimming while the center does not. I did experience a nail bed infection a few years ago however that has been cleared up for some time and the rest of the foot seems unaffected. It isn t painful or uncomfortable, just a little disconcerting.
