Pedicure! Friend or fo?
by anjel75, Apr 30, 2007 12:00AM
A couple of weeks ago I went to get a pedicure. I always have the french manicure thing done because it looks so good and clean and stays for a long time. Due to this color, I am able to see inpurities in my nails. On my left big toe, there is what looks like to me a bruise that starts at the bottom of my nail shaft. Well, I was looking at it earlier and the blue color has gotten darker and has spread to the top of my nail. Is this infection or what?

My husband had a nail infection (that began from bruising the toenail from running) and according to the Podiatrist, he should use his own nail clippers, etc. because a fungus is easily transferrable. That being said, imagine how many people they use the same tools on at nail salons, and how many different ailments they may have!
Get your toe checked as soon as possible because the fungus can spread to your skin as well and affect your overall health if left untreated.
