"0"^^ . "I used to go here faithfully then I had started to go elsewhere because my nail tech left. I recently went back to get my nails done for Easter (Wed before Easter). I got a gel nail set. My polish on my middle finger was chipped on Friday and my thumb was chipped on Saturday. That is when I noticed tenderness in my index finger by the nail. By the following Wednesday, my index finger was swollen with sharp throbbing pain centered at my nail bed. My finger was painful to the touch and very warm as well. I had no idea what was going on and used ice and an inflammatory (I thought maybe a bug bit me). By Friday, I went to Med Express because the pain was too much. The first thing the doctor asked was if I had gotten my nails done and said I had Cellulitis. (Bacteria under my nail). She said when your cuticles are pushed back, bacteria can be pushed under as well. Well, I washed my hands so where could it have come from? It is now Monday and my finger is still swollen and painful after starting antibiotics on Friday. I am now afraid to get my nails done anywhere because of sterilization concerns. Oh, my ring finger has chipped off as well. My gel set usually last 2+ weeks before any problems."^^ . "2016-04-04T00:00:00"^^ . . "1"^^ . . "1"^^ . . "1"^^ .
