Hi, I got bit by my friend s dog. But my skin isn t punctured, just super bruised with purple, blue and red. It wasn t bleeding either. I went to clean it with alcohol right away then with warm water and soap, then I iced it because it was swelling. My skin didn t burn with I applied the alcohol though. So do you think it s okay? Or should I get it checked out?
