Hi all

Since starting my Breast Cancer journey in January 2023 I have had issues with both thumb nails. They keep spliting. Sometime on to the nail bed. I've mentioned it several times to my Oncologist and the chemo nurse but no-one has suggested anything to help/prevent. I have to keep the nails very short but even then they catch on things and are quite painful at times

Is there any suggestion for a type of cream or oil anyone can recommend.  Thank you

  • On the recommendation of others here I used Polybalm throughout my chemo and it worked really well.

    It's quite expensive though so may not be within a lot of budgets.

    Other than that just an almond oil nail treatment should do the trick, about £6 in Boots.
