I'm guessing you mean something like a pin. You should clean the area
preferably with some kind of antiseptic. Did you complain to the store? I
think you should, so you have a record and they are aware of such problems. If
what stuck you looked clean - e.g. came from the inside of a shirt - you
probably do not have a lot to worry about. If it did not look clean I would
see a Dr. Tetnus would be one concern.
