Hello Doc, I was scratched by a rat nail in my left last Sunday Morning when I was standing in the market area. I just want to know whether it is a dangerous one. Do I have to go to the Doctor ?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this was the superficial scratched then no need to worry because skin is the best protective layer, cleaning of wound area with tap water with antiseptic solution would be enough and no need to worry about this, hope this information helps, take care and have nice day.
