Special attention is given to the skin on the hands and feet and the fragility of the nails. Side effects from medication and treatments can lead to mild to severe nail changes, causing discomfort and pain. Hands and feet can become tender and sore. Flaky, irritated skin and swelling fingers and toes can be experienced. Soft, gentle touch technique along with hydration and nail strengthening will help ease the pressure of tight, sore and irritated skin.
