jumped the curb today and there's a small tear on tire

I was in a hurry and apparently I turned too fast and right rear tire jumped the curb.

And I just noticed that there's a small tear on the side of the tire shown in the picture.

Should be worried?

Do I have to get a new tire?

Thanks for any info.

edit.

I still can't post picture...

Looks ok but it's hard to tell how deep it is from the picture.

Is there a chunk of rubber you can lift to show us how deep it is?
From here it looks superficial.....need to know how deep it went.

^Agreed.^
Superficial.
Keep on driving, and stay away from curbs.
