Re: Loose fingernails...
I had the same problems with my nails and my TCH tx. Tea tree oil worked well and my nails went back to normal later after the tx was done.
FYI, at the time I thought I was getting a fungal infection, went to a nail salon who sold me some antifungal stuff to put on. Fortunately I did not use the fungal stuff and shortly after my onco told me it was from the TCH and recommended the tea tree oil. So don't be like me and make the same initial mistake of thinking it is a fungal infection!
