Anyone notice wrinkly skin after chemo and fingernail changes?
Just curious; has anyone noticed that since chemo that your skin seems more wrinkly. I did notice that my fingernails are so different but it didn't until awhile after my last chemo.

To keep your fingernails like normal and keep your hair as well you can buy gloves and hats from Amazon that use ice to chill your hands and head to prevent loss of hair and fingernail damage.

1 Reaction@asolidrock, because skin, hair, nails involve rapid cell replacement, they are often affected by chemotherapy. I found this article that may be helpful:

Have you completed chemotherapy treatment? What type of changes have you noticed?
