My finger had a scar...ish wound which caused by peeling with finger and it touched my poop. Can you get tetanus like that? Also i jumped to the bed and felt a scratch on my arm and when i checked i saw a little scratch but no blood nor any deepness to it just a line above the skin not even redness. Am i safe?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. There is no need for tetanus shot if you have cleaned the wound with soap and water. Scratches are superficial injuries and do not require any vaccination. Tetanus injection is necessary if wound is grossly contaminated, Large open wounds and deep injury due to blunt rusted metal. Please do not worry. Clean the wound with an antiseptic and that would suffice. Thanks.
