I had this sharp lead pencil pierce maybe 1 or 2mm through my foot. When I felt the pain, I immediately pulled back. There was a black mark deep under the skin, no blood. I tried using the needle to probe that as if it was lead, but either it went further inside or it was just the color left by the lead. Anyways, I came home and my friend tried to probe it again a few hours later with another needle but could not find. This time a tiny amount of blood was there due to needle probing. I applied the liquid bandage as I did not wanted to get infected. Next day went by fine without me noticing anything. After 2 days, today I noticed a shining heart shape yellow skin happening around the wound. First thought it must be caused by the liquid bandage. But when I tried to peel off, there was no liquid bandage to peel off. It is my actual skin which is shining. I tried to press the wound area and I can feel a tiny pain. Should I be worried? Pics are attached which were taken at the time of writing this question. Thanks
