Cut myself on metal.

Hello, I had cut myself on metal 3 months ago. I immediately went to the local medical store and got myself a single tetanus toxoid injection. Now, 4 days ago I cut myself against metal again. It's superficial wound on left thigh with little bleeding. I was wearing full pants when the metal hit my thigh. I noticed the wound three days later. Today on the 4th day, I rubbed some aftershave over it. The picture attached shows how the wound is looking now. No excess pain or anything is happening there. Requesting a professional advice.
