Cat scratch disease
Hi
I have recently had contact with a kitten and it scratched me but deeper multiple times mostly near my arms and fingers. After almost a week now I started seeing round acne kind of rashes and it started spreading on my body.
May I know what I need to do to stop spreading further and if it leaves a scar.

Hello
Cat scratch disease is self limiting and doesn't have any major complications but treatment required for such lesions
Treatment would certainly help in spreading and drying of lesions
