If you have thick, discolored, or flaky nails you may have a nail fungus infection.
This infection is caused by an active fungus called dermatophyte.
The nail fungus infection ingests your skin and nail, and can even spread to other nails.

DF2 is it right for you?
Millions of people are affected by nail fungus. Adding moisture to otherwise dry skin, (as with frequent hand washing), can accelerate this type of growth. Once the nail fungus establishes itself, it has been virtually impossible to destroy. Public baths, gyms, showers, and washrooms have contributed to this nail fungus proliferation.
Other nail conditions may exhibit similar symptoms to nail fungus, you should use this list, and check with your doctor if you are unsure of your fingernail or toenail problem.
