I went to the pediatrist and he had to clip my ingrown toenail..he used some antibiotic ointment on my toes but it looked like a used container...can i catch anything from that if it has been used on others too?

No, there is no risk for infection related to using topical antibiotics from an used tube, follow written and/or verbal recommendations for proper healing.
