Cat bite but no wound/bleeding

2022-06-08 15:58:01
My friend's cat was being playful and kinda bit my foot over my socks. But there's no wound/bleeding. Just a faint light red mark like a scratch which doesn't hurt or anything. I washed my leg and rubbed an anti septic lotion over it. Should I be worried?
