Hi, when I had my first transplant, 21 years ago, I developed fungal nails on my hands and feet which caused the nails to lift and come off. I suffered these for several years, trying several treatments prescribed by doctors to no avail. Then my sister-in-law told me to try tea tree oil - cleared them up very quickly. Hope you get yours sorted, jackie.
