Brief Answer:
This could be health anxiety disorder

Detailed Answer:
Dear Anjan Patra,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

First I like to inform you that scratch can come from excoriation which is produced when you have itching and scratch vigorously. Regarding itching it can be derived from simple insect bite to some other disease process as simple as dryness of skin in winter months.

Now regarding fear of dog bite I feel there is some subconscious fear which is developing all these symptoms. This often happens when some dog has bitten you in childhood, or may be parents used fear of dog which got ingrained in your thought process and many other similar reasons.

Due to these subconscious thought processes you may have developed a disorder called as health anxiety which is characterized by fear of serious illness despite no evidence or evidence in contrary.

I must assure you that the problem can be treated with both psychotherapy and medications. When it is too severe there may need for combination of both medications and psychotherapy.

As per my personal experience the disorder is difficult to treat but not impossible to treat.

The disorder is best treated by a team od psychologist and psychiatrist. I request you to see nearby mental health professional without delay.

I hope this answers you and addresses your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.

Brief Answer:
No more dose provided no dog scratches

Detailed Answer:
Dear Patra,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

In case there is no further dog bite you do not need any injections.

In case there is dog bite you need to observe the dog for 10 days and complete three injection on day 0, 3 and 7.

In case you have pet dog get immunized the dog and there is no need for further injection if your own pet dog scratches.

I hope this clarifies further.
Thanks again.
