Should I go to the doctor?
I have a 7 week old feral kitten I rescued several weeks ago. He is getting to be very bitey with hands and other body parts when playing. A few days ago, he bit at my wrist when I went to pick him up, and he broke the skin (like a scrape, not a puncture.) I washed it really well with soap and put antibiotic ointment on and a bandaid, but now it has what looks like a lightly reddish rash which is just slightly bumpy(uneven tiny bumps, barely raised) where he bit and the surrounding skin (like a half inch across.) It doesn't hurt but itches a little. Oddly the reddish area is almost a square shape.
Do I need to go to a doctor or should I just keep an eye on it? I figured some people here may have an idea since you've dealt with ferals...
