does this look like normal healing?

I got stabbed in the leg with a tree branch cut at a slight point. It went in about 1/2 inch maybe. This photo is after 24 hours, first time removing the bandage. The fatty tissue was out when it happened and it didn’t bleed that much, just a couple trickles down my leg into my shoe. The dot in the second picture looked and felt soft like a bruise initially when the injury happened and now it is hard like a scab and has redness around it. My main concern is the swelling and redness. It is warm to the touch but not hot. When I walk, it feels like my leg is going to explode and soft touch around the bottom of the gauze pad makes my leg feel like it’s on fire. I’ve never had an injury like this or stitches in general, so I don’t know what’s going on.
