I have been applying antiseptic cream(Voren) on my muscle injuries and quite a few got into my fingers. I forgot about it and later used my fingers to peel a skin inside my mouth on my gums to be precise till it bleeds. Then I recalled i forgot to wash off the cream(which stated to be poison). I quickly wash my mouth but found the gums to be swollen and bruised the next day. Pls advise , many thanks

I think there may be some OCD issues here at stake.
When in doubt, go to the ER

at this point nothing you can do can change the past...
You seem concerned about the possible absorption via your mouth / gum; You should also remember that your skin (finger) is also able to absorb, albeit in smaller quantity nonetheless something to keep in mind for future practise.
