Botox/acrylics after chemo

Hi Ladies,

When did you get Botox or acrylic nails again after chemo? Any issues? My concern is infection and weak nails.

I'd wait a year or two.

For some of us undergoing therapy it's Best to avoid substances that can have an effect on lymphatic system

Scratches and cuts as well as nail issues can cause cellulitis and or aggravates lymphoedema issues

For me avoiding excess exposure to household chemicals and dyes was important

So having pristine nail care is important and using less products was important sadly no chemicals also mean no longer a redhead

I see.
