I'm going to suggest something a bit different. Think about this regret and ask yourself this question: "Did acting the way I did, given my ignorance at the time, cause any person harm?" I would define harm as anything, real or perceived, that would cause a negative reaction in the affected person. If the answer is yes, clear your conscience by going back, if possible, and correcting the problem. Perhaps a simple apology will suffice. If that's not possible or if no harm was done, simply resolve to not repeat your mistake, then move on.
