Suggest Treatment For A Pet Cat Bite On The Groin Area

To which ever doctor reads this. I would acquire some information or help regarding my concerns. I recently adopted a new cat from an animal shelter, which was previously a stray. It will be getting vaccines next week but currently has none, which has become a concern to me as I sleep naked for comfort. I was woken up last night to my newly adopted pet biting my groin. Since, my knob has become extremely swollen. What advice could you recommend?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history of bite on groin, my treatment advice is:
1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like Fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like Levocetirizine twice daily for 7 to 10 days.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics like Levofloxacin and Azithromycin taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
