My daughter stabbed herself with a pencil there is a black mark under her skin but no piece of lead, should i be worried?

Modern pencils: are made of a graphite material, and no longer contain lead. The biggest risk, albeit minimal, of this type of injury is infection. Local wound care should suffice for treatment.
