A stray dog s paws scratched my leg this morning. The soil from the dog s paws came on my leg. I washed the area for about half a minute. There were no scratches. Later i washed it again and applied anti-septic lotion. Do i need to take any more pre-cautions?
HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor. I reviewed your history. If there is no bite and bleeding then no need of vaccination against rabies. You need to wash the area thoroughly, no need to worry. But if there is skin injury and bleeding you need vaccination. Hope this information is helpful. Thank you for writing to Chat Doctor.
