    I have a question, I was opening clams and the knife slipped and I cut my thumb. It looks like I don't need stitches but the wound is kind of swollen and I can see a little of the skin tissue when I bend my thumb. I am using peroxide and neosporin and covering it with a band aide. This incident happened Monday night, is there anything I need to worry about?
