I am a breast cancer survivor of 4 years. Ever since having chemo & radiation, my big toes have thickened nails with discolored spots and some crumbly texture to the nail. Occasionally they start to hurt and I trim back the top layer which stops the pain. Last week I noticed that my left nail was looking thick and and there was a discolored spot on it. I trimmed the nail, removing the crumbly area, back to where the discoloration was. During this process, I noticed that when I pressed on the nail it made a squishy sound like there was fluid under it. Pressing on it further caused a clear liquid to come out. I put a bandaid on overnight and it seemed like more fluid came out. The next morning I squeezed it again, this time less fluid came out and then I put some Vicks Vapo Rub on the nail as I had read that this might help. As I was not going out that day I left the foot uncovered. Seemed to dry it up a bit, so I did this for another few days. Tuesday I noticed the spot again and trimmed the nail further with the same results. Now when I press on the area where the spot started, there is still a clear liquid that comes out. I put a bandaid with neosporin on yesterday morning before going out for a few hours, and when I got home I removed the bandaid and noticed that the bandaid was pale yellow (don t know if from the fluid or neosporin). I ve noticed people on here using epsom salts, is this something I should try, or should I see a podiatrist? While I ve had the nail thickness/crumbling for 4 years now, this is the first time that fluid has come out.
