Toenail issues while on Tykerb
Just wondering if anyone on Tykerb is having any toenail issues....Since August, I've been battling what my dr. thinks is an "ingrown" toenail. I've been on and off antibiotics to try to keep the infection down. She was going to cut the nail off last time I was in, but I put her off one more time in the hopes that I can massage the skin away from the toe. I'm now wondering if it really is an ingrown toenail. Could Tykerb have anything to do with this. Even though it appears to me that the nail is not growing into the side of my skin, it still remains red and when not on antibiotics, it gets pussy. Any ideas/suggestions before I take the last resort of cutting this toenail off, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Joannie
