Suggest Treatment For Dog Bite
My dog bit my finger a few days ago (long story but it was my fault), and today I noticed a few small red marks on my arm, one of which is a semi-circle, another is a full circle(looks like ringworm but isn t blotchy or raised or dotted, just a red circle), and then there s a line. Are the two related? Could it be ringworm? Should I see a doctor?

HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.
No , very unlikely to be a ringworm as fungal infection takes long time to occur . It could be just a bruise due to bite . No need to see doctor for that.
Having said that I need to know have you got a tetanus shot this time and Rabies Vaccine ( unless your dog is vaccinated )
Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
