Could I have damaged anything by accidentally scratching my septum at 4 weeks post op?

I was using tweezers to remove some mucous after washing with saline did nothing, and accidentally scratched my septum. There was momentary pain, but there is none now. It’s bleeding a little (like a small paper cut). There was no surgery on my septal cartilage. Have I damaged anything? I rubbed antibiotic ointment on the scratch just in case, and have decided to leave it be.
