Bumped and cut my head 2 months post FUE hair transplant - will this affect new hair growth or kill grafts? (photo)

sh4r1f
Hi doctors, it has been just over 2 months since my hair transplant, I bumped my head on the edge of a table while bending down to pick something up, I've noticed a very small cut on my scalp on the area that I bumped (see attached image). There's not much bleeding (if any). Can you please tell me if something like this would affect future hair growth/kill grafts? - note: if you can't see the image, the cut is about 1mm to 2mm in size and about 0.2mm deep...
