Suggest Treatment For Deep Wound Caused By Dog Bite

my small dog bit me quite hard yesterday on my thumb and there were two cuts/holes. i cleaned them with alcohol wipes and applied a bandaid, dis-infected the wounds with dettol and kept re-applying bandaids with dettols antiseptic cream. last night before i fell asleep, i re-applied a fresh one and now, the surrounding skin around one of the more deeper wounds is white. is this just because of the cream or do i need to see a doctor? im 70% sure my dog has received all her shots
