Pedicure care

So I went to get a pedi today and the only place that was open wasn’t the best but my MIL is in town and wanted to treat me to one.

So we go and I let them know I don’t want a cuticle trim because every time without fail I get an infected toe. I tell the lady and she says I know I know and continues to dig at my toe I tell her I don’t want that and she says ok I know and continues! This point is too late I fell the pain and I know an infection is eminent. Ugh!

What can I do to stop an infection or make it better at home?
