Suggest Medication For Discolored Nails And Chronically Splitting Fingertips
Hello , Timothy is a 61 years old male who has seen a dermatologist for chronically splitting fingertips, Affected fingers and thumb have a chalky like color to the nails. He is using mupirocin oint and has been for 2+ weeks. Due to a medical condition with his eyes he can not use any steroids. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you. He has another follow up this week is there any thing he should be asking? Nothing is working. He has also tried O Keefes working hands with gloves at night.
