How Can A Dog Scratch Be Treated?

Hello... I was recently scratched by my dog (on accident, he was jumping on my lap). It s been about 10 days and the scratch (which was on the surface - red but never deep enough to bleed) is itchy and a little puffy. I had it looked at by a dr this morning and he said he didn t seem concerned. I m worried though... the triple antibiotic isn t really helping. It doesn t seem to be fading.
