    See your doctor. Sounds like it may be infected, or it could be something worse. Rusty fence, and a bite (you don't say what bit you) could indicate something far worse than an infection. When was your last tetanus shot?

    Either way, it's time to see your doctor.

    Infection, blood poisoning, or worst. Cuts and scrapes from rusty items can cause serous even fatal at time issues.
