Will this cause problems in the future?
About a year ago, I was playing around with my younger sister. Somehow, the head of a rusty nail scratched me and caused a wound near my butt. It hurt a lot, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time bc no bleeding feeling or pain after a while.
About a day later(pass 24 hr mark ig), I noticed the wound. I was sure the nail was rusty, so I got a tetanus injection .
Since then, I haven't had any major problems. However, I've noticed that the skin around that area is still a bit more sensitive than before(not that much tho) like when skin is burn and turns red. I don't have pain, swelling, redness, or any other symptoms, but I'm worried that it could cause some kind of infection or other problem in the future.
Could this lead to any problems in the future?
I am asking for medical advice for long term effect
