Rabies spread over peeled skin on hand
I was driving with my family while around 5-6 dogs surrounded my car and they were barking heavily and as I started moving they chased my car and left within seconds. After a few seconds I reached my destination. And I got down and opened my rear doors for my family members to get down. I have peeling skin in my hand since few days and it is healing but still few of my fingers are burning and I get pain while eating or holding any object. So by any chance the saliva of the dog would have hit my car handles and as I held the door handles am I exposed to Rabies virus?. I am worried. kindly advise. I have attached my palm screenshot.

As you had no direct contact with the animal it's very less likely . Plus the Rabies virus doesn't survive on dry surfaces, it becomes non infectious in sunlight . So you touching the handles should be fine .
