You should put an antibacterial ointment, like bacitracin, on the area and keep it clean. See a doctor if you are seeing pus because you may need an antibiotic. The pavement is not clean and you may have an infection so see a doctor ASAP. Good luck!

Agree with Dr. Ferranti. It would be useful to get a booster shot of tetanus as well.
