Suggest Treatment For Dog Bite

I was in the philippines when a dog bit me. It was a mother and protecting her babies. She looked healthy and the owners said this dog had bit their kids before and there's never been a problem. It did not cause me to bleed and I couldnt tell if it even scratched the surface but it bruised. Since it's the philippines, I am still freaked out. It's been about one week but I cant stop thinking about it...should I go the doctor? Is it too late to get a vaccine?

Hi
It's not too late to start rabies vaccinations if the skin were actually broken
