Is Redness In Foot After Using Peroxide A Sign Of Something Serious?

We did yard work all weekend and there was still rakes laying out in the yard.Yesterday afternoon my 4 year old son was outside playing with no shoes on. He steped on a metal rake that puntured his foot almost dead center. ALOT of bleeding I can not see that it needs stiches or not. I lookes like a scratch about a 1/4 of a inch but I know it is a whole in his foot. My 10 year old used this rake on saturday afternoon to move a dead bird that he found under a bush that we was triming and I know it was this one becuse it is the only meatal one that I own. I carryed my son in the house with blood running out fat put him on the kitchen counter and made water in the kitchen sick with dial hand soap and stuck his foot in in for about a half hour I then cleaned it with peroxcide and put a bandaid on it. He is limping this AM and the sight where the wound it is very red.
