So about 11 days ago I was messing around with my dog who apparently needed to have her nails trimmed. She accidently scratched me on the face under my eye down to my cheek. I immediately put neosporin on it that night and it seemed to have faded by the next day.
When this occurs your dogs skin will flake off in scales or possibly look red and inflamed. Seborrheic dermatitis will also cause your dogs skin to become itchy and he will scratch and chew at his fur to relieve himself. Usually a foul odor is also associated with this type of skin disorder.
Make sure you keep it clean and dry. Wash it with antibacterial soap and some kind of antiseptic on afterwards. Infection is your biggest concern so as long as it doesnt get red and inflamed you probably dont need to see a medical professional.
