Scratch on foot by colony Dog
I was playing with our colony Dog outside my house. He stood up and as he stood up he stepped on left foot, he scratched my feet a little bit with his toenails, i washed my feet with water and then applied Dettol on it, there was no bleeding, my left foot finger hurts a little but its a muscle pain cz of the stepping. I am worried about some infection. The dog lives outside our house and doesn't seem to have any problem. Please tell me what to do

Hi, as long as the skin is intact with no bleeding there is no possibility of infection. So, don't worry.
