Hello Dear. Are you having any discharge from the wound? From the limited history and the picture, your wound looks fine to me but additional history would be better to conclude in your case. Have you gotten your tetanus toxoid vaccine within 72 hours of the accident? Also you should apply moisturizer as your skin looks pretty dry. If you have any more questions, you can connect with me.
