I was scratched by a cat, and my skin was slightly broken without bleeding.

Scratched by a healthy cat, we just need to wash it with soapy water and then apply a little iodophor. If you are caught by a cat with abnormal mental state, you should go to the hospital for rabies vaccine within 24 hours to be on the safe side. If we want to know whether the cat that catches people will be infected with rabies, we can judge by observing it for ten days.

First, the treatment method after being scratched by a cat

Many friends have been scratched by cats without bleeding, and I don't know what to do in the future. Generally speaking, if you are scratched by a healthy domestic cat, you only need to disinfect the wound. However, if it is caught by a cat with obviously abnormal mental state, we need to consider the risk of being infected with rabies and go to the hospital for rabies vaccine in time.

Second, ten-day observation method

When we are scratched by a cat, we can leave the cat around to observe 10 days. If the cat does not die within 10 days, even if it carries rabies virus, it is not contagious, so we can completely rule out the possibility of being infected with rabies.
