I assume that you've had a tetanus booster within 10 years. Nevertheless this is a low likelihood scenario if you're concerned about tetanus as there was no skin puncture wound. Other skin complications also are unlikely here. Pain& redness would raise concerns about infection. Wash the area and apply an antibacterial ointment.
