Detected Nail Infection When Removed Acrylic Coatings On Nail. Diagnosed Smouldering Myeloma. Any Connection?
Hi I have been diagnosed with Smouldering Myeloma and recently have started havin gproblems iwth my nails. I have had acrylic coatings on my nails for several years without an issue but when I last went for infills the nail technician removed the coatings and told me to seek medical assitance as I have a nail infection. However from researching the internet the nails do not look like typlical infections and I am wondering if there is a connection to the SM or if my SM is deteriorating to MM (not due antoher check till July).

hello, myeloma is a malignant clonal proliferation of B-lymphocytes. infections in general are particularly common. nail infections are not particularly a common presentation. probably you could be suffering a much simpler fungal nail infestation. please contact a dermatologist for proper examination and also keep your appointment in july okay.
