i managed to brush my knee and thigh over some kind of shitty coral in barbados. it hurt a lot at the time, but only for about an hour. however, i still have a red swollen patch on my knee 2 weeks later. i could go to the doctor, but i thought it much better to ask the internet.

eventually hundreds of writhing young coral polyps will burst from your leg looking for the ocean currents

There will be some ickle bits of the coral in the wound. Go to the docs, get it cleaned properly.
Failing that, take some antihist and see if the redness and swelling subside.
