My concern - #10562

Hashem

Hello I cut my finger on a rusty object and i wanted to know if the symptoms matches with tetanus. I cut my finger about 5 days ago and I started noticing a dry layer of something yellow covering it mixed with dry flesh. And i feel some numbness in my left arm, which has the finger that i cut. And my finger kind of feels hot. Like a mosquito bite but it doesnt itch. My brother told me its fine but i wanted to confirm. I am a 14 yo M
