Sandals and flipflops have not only become acceptable to wear in public, they have in fact become fashion staples with style-conscious individuals owning several pairs to mix and match with their outfits during the summer.

But before exposing your feet to the world, make sure your nails are in good condition.

Have you noticed any discoloration, thickening, or cracks and brittleness? Do they smell? If you answered yes to any of these, you might be suffering from nail fungal infection.

According to studies, nail fungal infection affects almost 10% of the population, making it the most common nail disease. Although it's not life-threatening, nail fungal infection may cause pain and discomfort, apart from the fact that it's also contagious.

You nails can grow so thick and brittle, making them more difficult to trim. Having said that, don't wait for someone to notice it before taking action since nail fungal infection can easily be treated.

Get rid of those fungi with Emtrix, a topical treatment for nails affected by nail fungal infection or psoriasis. Emtrix increases hydration, which gently smoothens the outer layer of the nail plate and improves the appearance of discolored and deformed nails.

Emtrix has a physical keratolytic effect that degrades the cells of fungi that cause fungal nail infection. Here are three simple steps on how you can treat such an infection:

1. Hold the point of the Emtrix tube onto the nail and press lightly.
2. Apply a thin layer over the entire nail surface, including under the free edge of the nail.
3. Leave to dry for a few minutes.
