      So, it is a minor question… but have any of you on PD1 had itchy sloughing skin on eyelids? I will be back at the Dr in a week, and will show them – but was wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this? Both lids were lightly peeling last visit to Dr, and it is assumed this is part of the immune response to treatment. This has increased some, and now lids are a little puffy, though still not a big deal. I am just wondering if anyone has had something similar, and if so… was it treated?

      Thanks!

          Hi Tina,

           

          I do not have your problem but I am also on Merck PD1.

          I am curious to know if anyone has my problem. My problem is that my finger nails are peelingand cracking . Does anyone have this problem with their finger nails. I have been on PD1 over 1 yr. and have had this problem for at least 8 months. I would appreciate knowing if anyone else has this problem.

          Thank you for your reply.

              Tiny – I can't say I have had any issues with my eye lids.  Although once I thought they looked saggy lol!  

              Jamie – as for finger nails, I've had all sorts of issues with my nails.  some months they are really good and others I start to see the lines come back (guessing corresponding to treatment days) and they get flaky and soft.  My derm at sloan gave me a prescription for that.  Also got some other products to help.  They weren't sure at first if it was a lingering thing from Zelboraf/Ipi? or the pd1?  I have been on Merck's pd1 for a year now.
              Thanks,

                      prescription strength cortisone cream did the trick ( and natural tears). Much better now 🙂
