This morning I stupidly managed to get my leg inbetween my two yapping Jack Russell Terriers and one of them nipped me. The skin is broken but it hasn’t bled. Do I need to get this looked at or will Savlon do? I don’t fancy a 3 hour wait in the walk in centre if I’m being a wuss!

Happened to me last year. I went to walk in and they did nothing. Said tetanus lasts a lifetime Confused. Mine drew blood and much worse than yours. They just said keep an eye for infection. No antibiotics given. Hope yours isn't too sore

Clean it (soap and water is fine, dry and cover it if you like), check with your GP that your jabs are up to date and see what their advice is. Photo may be more helpful with some idea of scale - are those just tiny puncture wounds or are they huge craters?
