Context: Is critical as far as possible exposure to bats. If that has not happened, visiting a cave, etc, a bat bite would be highly unlikely. Seeing a psychologist may help in reducing the intensity of your OCD.

Cut my thumb deeply 3 weeks ago on a glass while washing up. It was big, but I treated it at home by rinsing and covering. The skin hasn't closed together, but new skin has formed under. Doesn't hurt now, but still very pink/ red/ small bump. Normal?

Heard a small squeaky/chirpy sound last afternoon, I don't know the source. I woke up with a tiny red bump on my leg which is irritated, just barely painful. I haven't seen a bat, but I'm concerned I could have been bitten by one and need Rabies PEP?

Theres small tiny red bumps on my hand. Only on the back side of my hand not on any other skin. Is it possible that hand soap caused it? I accidentally used a hand soap as a hand sanitizer without water for two days. But only one hand has, why?
