    Dog bite
    My pet dog fully vaccinated bit me in my private area though the clothes and skin has peeled of in two places.. . Put dettol instantly and antiseptic cream.. Now.it's kind of healing.. Happened two days ago.. Should I need any other medications even if bit through clothes
    Should I consult a doctor if so which kind of.
    Skin specialist or general physician?

    Did the bite, the teeth pierce the clothing, Animal mouths have many germs and issues of infection can be very serious. It is not the rabies to fear but 100 of other infections that may be present.

    Not knowing the extent and seriousness of the injury it is hard to tell you. But, if healing is not progressing, a visit to your general doctor would be the first step

    I don't think he peirced the clothe.. It's almost healed completely and gone.. .
    No signs of infection... Or side effects...
    I managed pain so far by being high on weed...
