Suggest Treatment For Dog Bite
I was playing with my dog and I think he must have bitten my finger. It was not a hrs bite. It didnt hurt but immediately the skin started to itch and the skin peeled off my finger.I cleaned it with peroxide and put neosporin on it. It is draining a little. What do I need to do?

Thanks for the query.
Clean the wound under running water with soap or some antiseptic solution.
Dressing needs to be AVOIDED.
If the dog vaccinated, is under your observation and is normal, you may not need to take complete rabies vaccine schedule.
Take injection tetanus toxoid.
But if the dog is stray dog or rabied you have to complete rabies vaccine schedule along with rabies immunoglobulin.
See a doctor.
Hope i helped you.
