Hypersensitivity: It is possible that the cut disturbed some nerves and while they are healing, they are hypersensitive. While there are separate nerves for pressure, pain and temperature, while hypersensitive, some temperature fluctuations may be felt as pain, as will pressure. Keeping the area covered with a bandage may reduce the sensations and allow you to function without pain.
