I accidentally scratched myself on a metal rack while taking a wrong turn (yes I'm clumsy). Anyway, I checked it out and the scratch wound didn't bleed, it just has white flakes and a small area that it is red/pink.
As soon as I got my hands on hand sanitizer (30 min later) I massaged the area with hand sanitizer and then after a few hours I cleaned the wound with soap and water.
I am quite freaked out about the risk of tetanus here. The store shelf was maybe not the cleanest ever since it was just in a random furni store, so I'm scared about that...:weep:
My TDP shot was probably 7-8 years ago.

Your tetanus shot covers you and you cleaned it - nothing more to worry about.
