    it sounds like a fungal nail infection.Over 90% of fungal nail infections are caused by the same fungus that is responsible for athlete’s foot.

    Mild fungal nail infections can be easily identified by certain key symptoms. Some of the key signs that a nail is infected include:

    White, yellow or brown discolouration
    Thickening
    Build-up of debris under the nail
    Scaliness
    Distorted shape of nail
    Brittleness

    if this sounds like what you have got then dont waste money on expensive creams from the chemist, my dad just bought some mouthwash and put it on his nail and it went away, you have to use it a while though. dont ask how he found it out cause i dont know lol but it worked for him
