Bandaid: See an md is never a bad idea; for different reasons such as to check your tetanus vaccination status, look at the wound, and by the way maybe get a general checkup and antibiotics. Ensure the bandaid is not getting stuck to the tissue (you might keep changing and removing the scarring tissue over and over). Powders that favor re-epithelization are available otc in pharmacies to avoid this problem.
