...has anyone here had cellulitis? [View all]

I have to go to the ER later cuz the dr ofc is booked, and that's the only other option. Nurse on call said to get it looked at asap...
2 weeks ago I got a pedicure, Felt like the parafinn burned me. Noe it's tichy and red and theres a couple bumps, the toe next to it is affected now too and one of the ones on the other foot...

I just hope it's not MRSA or something horrific.
Can't get to the ER till this afternoon, but at least it's not purple or anything...
