Stray dog scratched by nail, rabies?

2022-07-26 17:25:28
A stray dog playfully jumped on me today and pressed/scratched my arm lightly with its paw. The skin is intact and no bleeding or cut is there. Firstly there was little swelling (raised skin) where dogs nails pressed on me and then swelling gone and the mark is reddish now. I washed it with dettol and even applied satinizer, no cut is there as there is no burning to dettol. The dog seemed normal Is there a problem? Can I get rabies? I dont want to get vaccinated. Plz answer.
