Confused about a rat bite
I woke up with a rash today morning which some how resembles a rat bite. I have seen a rat in the room and have been keeping rat poison to keep it away. Though I didn't wake at night nor the wound bled. But I'd like to know if I need to do anything.

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
It may not be a rat bite.
You do not have to do anything about it now.
Just clean it and apply a metrogyl gel over it twice a day.
It will heal in 3-4 days.
Do not remove the scab when it forms.
If you notice anything wrong with it, consult a general physician in person soon.
Best regards.
