We went to the local doc. and she said fungus and proscriped smz/tmp ds. With a follow up with clobetasol Propionate ointment. Can t find online any reference to fungus with these meds. Jim Wheeler

hello, doc scratch is minor injury unless there was bleeding. if its only oozing of blood it is a minor injury. You just have to under go minor category vaccination schedule. Apart from that you have to have an antibiotic and tetanus toxoid.
Ideally by washing thoroughly under running water for 20 minutes removes 80% of virus. but don't worry your self of it since you have already taken the vaccination. Hope this helps. thank you.
