I accidentally poke myself with pencils but it didnt hurt it just turning little bit red nothing much should i be worried?

The pencil point is graphite which is an inert, non-toxic material. The would has the possibility of becoming infected just like any other scratch/cut. Keep it clean and watch it. It should self heal.
