Thanks Jomar.
I'll probably have to do that then, it's just that I have no private health cover for a Podiatrist if that's who you would mean? I doubt there are any in my small area who would bulk bill on our medicare.

The problems seem related to the numbness as if there's no nerve or blood getting to them to keep them normal although some of the problem is due to the Immunotherapy. I developed some vitiligo including on my nails now as well. I've tried talking about it (nails) with my doctors and they just say it's the neuropathy or it's the immunotherapy and that's the end of the conversation.

I try to keep toes neat and tidy but I also don't want to cut myself accidentally because I can't feel anything. As time has gone by and the numbness and pain has become more extensive, the nails are hard and don't look healthy as they used to look. Maybe one trip to a Podiatrist would be worth it. So many other things going on, I'd put off bothering the docs about this issue again. (p.s. I don't do nail salon type places).

Some of the old posts I found talked about hair changes from neuropathy so figured it was connected to nails as well.
