<s>[INST] My dog bit my arm last night. It was painful and left indentations but did not appear to pierce the skin except for a tiny amount of epidermis shed today. tonight there is bruising and a red, blotchy, slightly bumpy rash, that doesnt itch, around the area of the bite. Should I see a doctor about the rash? If so, what does the rash indicate? [/INST] Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Such a bite mark will never cause any problem. But you should be worried about the two things. First is the infection that occurs because of the bite mark. For bite marks I advise you to do regular cleaning and Chat Doctor.  Antibiotics and analgesics can be useful to prevent infections. Second is rabies. Rabies can be observed by the condition of the dogs. If the dog remains healthy for 10 days you can be free from the rabies. In other case you can take the rabies vaccination as scheduled. There is no harm in taking it, and you can be protected from the rabies. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ </s>
