Small scratch where door jam gets bolted to. Need to worry about rust?

Ok so I took the doors off for the first time the other day and accidentally nicked the paint right where the door jamb bolts into. It's really tiny and you can barely see it. It's obviously in a place that you won't ever notice, but I can feel the nick with my fingernail. I am not sure if that's a spot where water commonly reaches. Should I be worried about potential rust? Asthetically it's not an issue in the slightest. Just worried about rust. Thanks!

Post us a pic. Should be simple enough to dab with a bit of touch-up paint.

Clear nail polish if you’re too cheap to buy touch up paint. If you scratched it down to the metal it will (eventually) rust.

Tried taking a pic but you can barely even see it actually. I think it's fine. Just freaked out because it's brand new haha. Might just dab some nail polish on it just in case or get some of that clear 3M vinyl film and put it in the door jambs to prevent any future scratches. I plan to take the doors off as much as I can but it can rain a lot where I live so there will probably a lot of on/off action going on.
