A member asked:

My friend was bit on his face by his own dog, it only bled for a bit and he cleaned it with water, should he be worried? or will it resolve on its own

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If open skin..: Needs antibiotics and tetanus vaccine update if he/she hasn't had one. There are multiple organisms in a dog's mouth that can potentially cause infections and should be seen ASAP for management of the wound.
