I would get it checked. A puncture wound can get infected very easily, Possibly some piece of the item that made the puncture is still stuck in the wound. Another possibility is that the bump is scar tissue, but if it is painful it should be checked.

If you are not sure when your last tetanus shot was, check with your doctor's office. You will need a tetanus shot if it has been more than 10 years since your last shot or if your last tetanus shot was more than 5 years ago and the wound has been contaminated with dirt.
