It is highly unlikely that you will contract rabies from the head wound in the scenario you described. Rabies is typically transmitted through the saliva of an infected animal, and it is unlikely that the dog's saliva would have come into contact with your head wound.
However, it is important to seek medical attention if you are concerned about the possibility of rabies. Your healthcare provider can evaluate your risk of infection and may recommend additional treatment or monitoring if necessary.
In the future, it is important to wash any wounds thoroughly with soap and water as soon as possible after they occur, and to seek medical attention if you are bitten or scratched by an animal. This can help to reduce the risk of infection and ensure that any necessary treatment is provided promptly.
