We don't have to worry about rabies. I consider these tiny dog bites but they can become infected by bacteria. I don't think you need to see an MD at this time. In addition to your wound care, I recommend applying an antibacterial ointment daily, bandage on arm and observe for increasing redness,swelling,drainage of pus. You're up to date with your tetanus booster( 10 years).
