Is this an infection or normal?

Before I start I am seeing the diabetic nurse later but would like peoples thoughts.

Basically yesterday I dropped something on my foot and must have caught it on on my big toe causing a scratch thought nothing of it and looked earlier and it looks like the photo and panicked thinking I’m going to lose my toe or worse leg so I have booked to see the diabetic nurse for piece of mind but I’m not showing signs of infecting it’s not painful or anything.

I’ve currently got salvon cream on it wrapped in a bandaged but still no pain, I’m feeling fine in myself, and bloods are fine.
