Brief Answer:
Depends on whether the area seems inflamed
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. I need to ask if there are signs of inflammation (viz. redness, raised temperature, tenderness etc.). If not, you can wait and need not rush to the emergency. However, if infection or inflammation seems to be present, it might be a good idea to visit the ER.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
