Should I go for HRIG?
I had a broken skin due to running and it was extremely small. Then a stray dog nibbled around it and i instantly washed it with handwashing sope. It didn't exactly licked the tear but was playing with me and i felt something wet. After a little while I noticed that there was a tear and it got red due to rubbing and washing. Then i washed it with dettol after an hour or something and I felt little burn while pouring dettol due to the tear. I got vaccinated within 12 hours as soon as the hospital opened. Neither was HRIG available at that govt hospital nor the doctor prescribed it. Tomorrow is my 2nd dose i.e. day 3. So is it fine without HRIG or should I definitely go for it? I have to search for it in all the delhi govt hospitals since it is not available in my state. That dog is exactly around 6-7 months old puppy actually and is living in my street from the day it was born. The puppy and the parents all live there and there are no unusual signs whatsoever.
I'm monitoring it closely.

Your case is a second category of wound/ type of exposure. No immunoglobulins are recommended. Just complete your post-exposure vaccination course as advised by your physician.
