Nail issues AC chemo
About to go for my third dose of AC chemo fortnightly. Noticed what I thought was an ingrown fingernail over the weekend, then 48 hours later I had four of them! Turns out its something called Acute Paronychia and is an infection in the cuticles. Quite tender and sore. Oncologist has given me antibiotics to try and clear this up, but discovered these fantastic little 'toe sleeves' at the pharmacy that are just brilliant. They are called Synxgeli fabric toe cushions, and I've cut them in half so have 4 to cover my finger tips so I can continue to work in comfort!
