A member asked:
I have 2 superficial dog scratches on my arm from morning, tonight i'm noticing tenderness in the muscle that the dog scratched, could it be infected?

Dog scratch: Yes, it could be infected. If it becomes red, tender or painful, warm to the touch, tissues are indurated (hard), see a doctor asap.
