Ouch! Sorry for your misfortune. Yeah, my p.a. said that infection was the thing to watch out for--if it's hot to the touch, etc. Apparently it's even possible start running a fever, or that's what she implied.

Thanks for posting. It's good to know that this is not that unusual, at least. I've been lucky. Ironically, it started to fade the day I went in to have it checked... I can barely find it now. But it took at least four weeks to go away, maybe six...
