A member asked:
I went to get a pedicure and the guy dug into my toe. its very tender now. is it infected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pedicure: Ah , pedicures. First , most salons do not sterilize their tools. So whatever the last client had , you may get. If it is infected you may need antibiotics, so see your podiatrist for help sooner rather than later and delete the pedicures. Good luck.
