Here are some tips for maintaining nail health during cancer treatment:
1. Keep Nails Short: Trim nails regularly to prevent them from catching on objects, which can lead to breaks. 2. Moisturize: Use a moisturizing cream or oil to keep the nails and cuticles hydrated. 3. Avoid Nail Polish and Removers: Chemicals in nail products can further weaken nails. Opt for water-based nail polishes if necessary. 4. Wear Gloves: Protect your nails from harsh chemicals and excessive water exposure by wearing gloves during household chores. 5. Avoid Nail Biting: This can introduce bacteria and increase the risk of infections.
