How Can A Skin Cut On The Shin Bone Be Treated?

I had a deep cut almost to the shin bone, in which a medic said it required stitches, but I cleaned it real well with Iodine and superglued it together. It seemed to hold, but one side of it opened and is now draining, and has 3 blisters around it. I went to a doctor today and got a tetanus shot and nurse just said if it gets red and swollen I should come back. Should I be concerned?
