My DS was bit on back of the leg tonight. Very minor bite but has broke skin. Do i need to get him seen to tonight? It just seems so minor for A&E

Looks like NHS advice is to call 111 if you’re concerned about how it looks

I hope your DS is OK.

I assume you are in the UK OP? I wouldn't see it as an emergency requiring A&E tonight- no.

I'd clean it with antiseptic and keep an eye on infection and/or book a GP appointment if concerned.
