XyliMelts discs are placed on a tooth or gums in the mouth to slowly dissolve and release 500 mg of xylitol and soothing oral lubricant to coat the mouth and tongue, and stimulate saliva production which can provide temporary relief for some or all of the symptoms of white tongue or dry mouth. If you are suffering from dry mouth in conjunction with white tongue, try XyliMelts adhering discs to relieve your discomfort.
Nail fungus can make your toe nails and even your fingernails look like they are rotting away when the nails turn an unsightly yellow and become unnaturally thick. An infection of the nails by fungi (called onychomycosis in medical terminology) is not simply a cosmetic problem; it is not inherited; and it is contagious.
Like Betsy, I didn't have problems with my nails until AFTER chemo-and I lost my last toenail 9 months after chemo.I knew it was coming off because I could lift it, but one little corner kept hanging on. I lost my toenails on my big toes and one other one-I think a second toe.My fingernails just sort of peeled. kept it on as long as I could because I knew another nail was growing underneath it. My one big toenail fell out about four months after I finished chemo and my other smaller toenail finally fell off a couple days ago)six months after chemo).
