FYI to anyone who gets pedicures:
So yesterday I had to have a procedure done where they removed part of my toenail and skin to remove an infection that was caused by getting a pedicure a few weeks ago. How did that happen you ask? With my job I wear closed toed boots most of the time and I get minor ingrown toenails, just on my big toes. Like most people when getting a pedicure, the pedicurist will normally inform you of the ingrown and then snip it right out. Little did I know, they are NOT supposed to do that unless it is right at the tip of the toenail. Well while getting my latest pedicure at Bellagio Nail Salon in Mt. Juliet beside Publix (1st time I had been there) the pedicurist that was doing my toes dug to the bottom of my toenail. It hurt while he was doing it but I assumed he was doing his job and the ingrown nail must have been deep. WRONG! 2 1/2 weeks later I am at a podiatrist having part of my toenail removed to be able to remove an infection caused by Bellagio Nail Salon and the pedicurist doing their job improperly. I am also 24 weeks pregnant and getting any type of infection can be nerve wrecking as I do not want anything to harm our baby. So, please make sure you trust the Nail Salon you are getting pedicures from and if you have an ingrown toenail that needs to be removed any further from the tip of the toenail seek a medical professionals guidance. It may seem over the top but it's much better than missing a toenail or getting a serious infection!
