Has anyone had their cuticles bleed at the manicurists?

Asked by tan253 (2948points) July 15th, 2017 from iPhone

I went to get a manicure for the first time in 15 years, horrible experience. The woman got a cuticle cutter ad proceeded to cut my cuticles, next minute two of my fingers are bleeding! She applies a green liquid and says its antiseptic. I ask her if this happens often and she says, ‘oh yes, especially if you’re diabetic!’ – then she proceeds to continue doing my nails as if it’s completely normal. I have health anxiety so I’m kinda stunned into silence as my health anxiety joins my side whispering about HIV or strep infection, fungal infection…. I’ve come home and phoned them asking about their sterilisation procedure – she said, ‘we are busy,’ – then very quickly she says, ‘we wash and uv light.’ I doubt they do anything to be honest. Has this happened to anyone, did you get an infection? I’ve put cystrderm and plasters on the cuts. This has ruined my day. Thoughts? Help?
