Puncture wounds often appear to be on the surface, but may extend into the deeper tissue layers. 
Direct penetration of tissues can introduce the tetanus bacillus into the bloodstream, possibly making the athlete a victim of lockjaw
Care: 
-Always wash hands before dealing with an injury. 
-If there is something stuck inside your skin you should NOT pull it out. Leave it be and go to the hospital. 
-At the hospital they will determine if stitches are needed.
