Re: Help with Nail infections

I didn't actually have an infection. I had no exudate come out or pain, but I was able to lift a couple of them up a bit and there was darkening. My onco recommended trea tree oil which I used. It took a while but eventually they went back to normal.
I am not sure, but I vaguely remember someone telling me not to paint them (not absolutely sure about that, but I "think" that's what I was told)
