My pet dog bit me on my face. There is one puncture wound and two scratches. All three wounds are shallow. Bleeding stopped in a few seconds. Do I need to see a doctor?

Definitely you need to see a doctor as early as possible. Thoroughly clean the wound with running water. Donot cover the wound. You need to take IDRV- intradermal rabies vaccine.
