No abscess or signs of infection. You can't see the site because it's in the black skin area and it was a large nail head hole or wire size and she bled all down her face. I'm just saying I think something plant like broke off and was working it's way out like splinters do. I'm confused regarding the size of the puncture hole though. The size of the hole has never been a people issue regarding tetanus . The bacteria anaerobic .

OK - it's just hard for us to see that an injury happened there at all, there's no sign of it in the picture... and I suppose that's good news!

The size wouldn't matter regarding the tetanus shot - but if there is a puncture wound site, I think it should be kept open so that it doesn't get infected and heal over the infection.
You have more medical knowledge than I do but would a splinter or thorn or something working its way out cause bleeding?
