Nail care during chemotherapy
Chemotherapy can affect the nails on both the hands and feet, causing changes such as brittleness, ridging, discolouration, lifting, or tenderness. These changes are common and usually temporary, but they can be uncomfortable – and because the immune system may be lowered, even small breaks in the skin can increase the risk of infection.
 Why Nail Changes Happen
Chemotherapy affects rapidly dividing cells, including those responsible for nail growth. As a result, clients may notice nails becoming weak, brittle, or splitting, Beau’s lines (horizontal ridges) reflecting treatment cycles, discolouration (yellow, brown, blue, green, or black), dry or frayed cuticles, tenderness or a feeling of looseness, nail lifting (onycholysis) or, less commonly, nail loss. Some drugs are more likely to cause nail changes. Fingernails tend to be affected more than toenails
Gentle Daily Nail Care
Keep nails short and smooth. Short nails are less likely to catch, tear, or lift. Moisturise hands, feet, and cuticles. I recommend RSL Nail Repair Oil and RSL Intensive Cream. Wear soft, cushioned shoes and cotton socks and avoid tight footwear or long-distance walking if toenails are sore
Protect nails from water and chemicals. Avoid long, hot baths or soaking hands/feet in hot water. Wear gloves for washing dishes and cleaning around the house.
 Nail Polish & Manicures and pedicures 
Many clients ask whether they can still enjoy manicure or pedicure during treatment. The answer is yes, if you choose an oncology trained nail technician, they will be able to adapt the treatment to your needs.
Regular nail polish. It can be used cautiously, but with considerations. It may hide early signs of nail changes that clinicians need to see. It can trap moisture, increasing the risk of fungal or bacterial growth. Choose “3‑free” or “5‑free” formulas to avoid harsher chemicals. Use acetone‑free remover. Usually darker colour is recommended, as the pigment serves as extra protection against UV light.
Gel & acrylic nails are usually not recommended. They obscure the natural nail completely, the removal might be too harsh on already fragile nails and skin, and the UV curing may increase sensitivity.
Cooling During Infusions
Some oncology teams recommend cooling gloves or socks, similar to cold caps, during infusions to reduce nail toxicity. Check with your medical team.
Preventing Infection. Because immunity may be lowered, even small nail injuries matter.Seek medical advice if there is: pain,discomfort, swelling, warmth, redness, drainage, odour, fever.
Most nail changes improve once treatment ends. Fingernails typically grow out in around six months; toenails may take up to a year.
Gentle, consistent care can make a meaningful difference in comfort, confidence, and wellbeing throughout treatment.
