This doesnt sound like the normal healing process of a wound, did you clean the wound afterwards or just leave it? It would be advisable to flush the wound by running it under warm water, incase any bits from your jumper are stuck to it, or anything else and dress the wound. Wound should show signs of healing within a few days so keep a good eye on it, if it remains the same seek medical advice. Also are you up to date on your tetnus shots?
Keep the wound clean and dry but a GP will be able to assess further and advise if it is infected and what course of action to take.

i did clean it after and it wasnt bleeding or anything so it should be dry blood, plus its not a dark red its black. i maybe didnt clean it as best as i should but nothing has been rubbing against it.
thanks for reading, if it has changed before tomorrow night i will book a docs appointment

It generally takes around 3 days or more for infections to develop.
I would gently clean the area daily and put fresh sterile dressings on afterwards.
If the wound gets hot to the touch, looks red and possibly inflammed and possibly pussy, you get a temperature or feel generally unwell then I would go and see your GP.
