I GOT A STAPH INFECTION!!! The esthetician I had was digging into the side of my big toe, telling me I had an ingrown toe nail. She dug and dug and dug. It was really starting to hurt. Even when I told her it was hurting, she kept digging. For several weeks my toe has hurt. To the point where my whole toe started swelling. It spread to my whole foot and ankle - to the point I couldn’t walk. It was pussing, yellow and the nail was lifting. The doctor tested it and it came back as a staph infection. I have never been in so much pain in my life!!!
