Hi all

my cancer treatment finished mid January 2026 [chemo & radiotheraply].

my Nails have been discoloured for few months, now one is about to come off, other 2 look as though they will follow suit.

converned all nails from both hands will fall off.

Saw a product POLYBALM - has anyone used this, your thoughts or any suggestions woud be appreciated.

many thanks

  • i did use polybalm and i had no major nail issues, but i maybhave had a different chemo than you.I was also told to paint my nails to protect them from uv. but double check with your team

    My nails went pale and had ridges, and the moon bit disappeare
