What should i do for a small gash on my leg from a broken lightbulb?

Well: Safe to see doctor to be sure no glass is left in wound. This is very thin glass hard to be sure all removed. You may or may not need stitches can't tell from your discussion and you may or may not need tetanus shot. So best to see doctor to have all of these issues addressed and take care of you
