Very shallow rat bite/scrape, no bleed

Question

Asked for Female, 27 Years

Im not sure if a mouse or rat bit me on the toe last night. When I checked to see, it didnt bleed for the wound is very shallow. I cleaned it with soap though. It seems to be a scrape with a very very small shallow puncture. Should I still go see a doctor?
