and inflamed. help? my friends and i went to the beach last friday afternoon. i had been to the beach once before and never had any pains walking barefoot except the usual brief pain after stepping on broken shells.
i was sittin on my beach towel. nothing in front of us but sand and shells.
i walked off and felt a sharp pain in my left toe; next to my big toe.
i didn't think anything of it and kept walking on the beach.
the next day, there was a kind of pale redness in my skin around my toe.
today (sunday) my toe swelled up and is irritated; it feels like dry itchy skin.
turns out, near our spot on the beach, there was a dead jellyfish not 30ft from us. could it be i grazed it without even knowing? i've never been stung by a jellyfish before. do my symptoms sound similar?
what could it be?
