Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
An xray of the injured area is mandatory to rule out any injury to the bone (either a fracture or dislocation).
As you have an open injury (which might need wound suturing), I suggest you to attend the Emergency room for appropriate care and managment. There is no role for self care measures in your case.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
