Hi Dyba,

Yes, those are common problems while on Ibrutinib.

Biotin and moisturizers are often suggested.

Please look for the box on this page (and other pages that mention Ibrutinib side effects)

Yep, had those, so moved to acalabrutinib immediately all sorted. No side effects now.

Were you on Ibrutinib?

Then changed to Acalabrutinib?

[stevesmith1964 in reply to Tapps]

Yes. I had mild knee swelling and brittle nail after 3 months, so changed immediately. I have no side effects from acalabrutinib

Yes biotin will help strengthen nails, and moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Also, for the scalp, experiment with fragrance free shampoo and conditioner.

Yes I had flaky, cracked nails and splitting skin at the corners of my nails. The splitting was very painful. Also feeling like someone sticking me with a pin around my body.

For my head area, bleeding inside of ear, red facial spots, hair thinning/ breaking and optical migraines.
