Dr. Peng Xiaodong
Black discoloration of the nails after chemotherapy is usually caused by adverse drug reactions. Patients should keep their hands and feet warm, such as wearing gloves when going out or soaking hands and feet in warm water, to improve blood circulation and alleviate nail discoloration. Additionally, under a doctor's guidance, patients may take neurotrophic medications such as vitamin B1 and vitamin B12 to help improve the condition.
