What Should Be Done After Superficial Skin Cut By A Rusty Blade?
I went to grab my normal blade i use to cut. I was cutting and after I noticed it was a little rusty. It has a few rust spots. I didnt notice and now I am scared for my health. Please help! (Note I did clean it with soap and water. I got rid of the blood. There wasnt a lot of blood.)

Hello
Thanks for the query.
It would be better if you can take a tetanus injection.
Apply an antibacterial cream like mupirocine twice daily for a week.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thanks.
