Solutions: Managing nail & cuticle issues
Overview
Some types of chemotherapy can induce dry, brittle, cracked, or inflamed nails and cuticles. There may be a line, or multiple lines and indentations and your nails may become discolored or brittle.
The area around the nail bed may become dry, and your cuticles may fray. In severe cases, the nail may actually lift off the nail bed. While most of these conditions are temporary and reversible, appropriate nail care is vital.
Suggested Care:
First and foremost, follow your doctor’s instructions. Taking your medication at the right time of day and in the prescribed dosage is important to your well-being and your recovery.
Keeping your nails and cuticles moisturized and protected with a good, emollient "barrier" application is keep to nail health. Avoid using any harsh soaps or cleansers. Keep in mind that when using a harsh soap on your hair or body, you are also drying your nails.
