Hi.

This can happen, and is nothing to worry about really. Just make sure you take good care of your wound, and take all required measures to prevent an infection like keeping it clean, application of a topical antibiotic (E.g. neosporin), sterile dressing, etc; and it should be fine in no time.

Best wishes.
