i've been swimming for awhile in my panty and bra, i have no idea HOW this has happened(but im assuming something must have happened in the pool...) But few days ago, my toe started to itch while i was talking on the phone and chatting away. The next day, it got alittle swollen but it was no big deal, i just shrugged it off like the careless me. But it kept itching like a @)#* $ so i scratched. Next day, its HUMONGOUS. I compare it with my other toe and my face is literally :o

Now, this one particular spot is purple and redish color AND! *points one finger up* swollen. Should i be scared?

You have either stubbed your toe unknowingly and it's injured, or you have a fungal infection. I think it's a fungal infection. You need to see the doctor and see what he can prescribe. Did you know that a simple fungal infection can spread to other parts of the body in no time? Don't touch it because you could help it spread to other areas as well as put millions of bacteria on it.

btw, have you been swimming in a pool or the ocean? If it's the latter, you might have been bitten. If it's a public pool, it's very likely there wasn't enough chlorine or something in it and you picked up something in the water.

woohoo, have a great prom! What's your dress look like? How are you going to do your hair?

I was a "rebel" and wore a long, ballroom- style BLACK dress with spaghetti straps, a black beaded corset and five inch black velvet heels (ouch), just because at the time I was very anti-pastel. It wasn't gothic at all though, more victorian or whatever. I didn't go to my junior prom, only my senior prom. It was fun, although my boyfriend was older and had gone to a different high school so I spent a lot of the night introducing him to everyone. My damned corset thing was so tight I could hardly breathe, but it was kind of fun being all victorian and what have you.

Be safe and don't drink too much!

well it's black, thats for sure. Only one spaghetti string because its slanted and it goes down under my arm..if that made any sense. It's sorta poofy, but sorta not. I'm wearing long black gloves, while i put my hair to the side(down), and put it all toward one shoulder. And make it wavy alittle. I dont know if i want to wear red lipstick, hmmm... i really like the classic ages, ranging from ava gardner, to blah blah. So i want to get the feel of that.

if you lose a toe, you cant even walk my dear, cant even balance yourself. So i was hobbling around while suffocating from being surrounded by people, but the body heat cant stop me from doing my native dance.
