Watchful waiting: Thanks for your question. As you mention, you are concerned about a bacterial infection coming into the cut you had on your thumb. Any type of break in the skin can definitely be a source of infection. Generally, if you are otherwise healthy, watch out for redness in the area, swelling, pain, fevers, or any fluid coming out of it. Make sure you washed the area well with soap and water.
