Suggest Treatment For Dog Bite

My dog bit me(not hard) and it left a little bump where he bit me at. It s starting to look like a bruise but it s a bump. I am thinking that it is a popped blood vessel but I don t know. What is it and should I be concerned? Also my dog is not aggressive and has all of his vaccines.

Thanks for your queries at HCM!
I advise that you must wash your wound with soap water thoroughly.
Consider tetanus and rabies prophylaxis(Rabipur) from a local physician.
You must start prophylactic antibiotics as there is a bruise and chances of getting infected.
Watch the behavior of dog for 10 days.
Take care!
