What about after four days? The body would of sealed by now from outside bacteria correct? I thought once the skin has been broken the body produces blood platelets that seal out bacteria almost instantly.

ANY infection and any skin "cut" no matter how minor can offer openings to the bloodstreat from outside bacteria. Try to keep the area clean and your immune system strong!
