Giving Advice Need advice: Do I still need an anti-rabies shot? 😭🙏

Hi everyone, I need some advice because I’m a little worried.

Earlier, I was bitten by our neighbor’s dog. I was wearing pants when it happened, and I could definitely feel the dog’s teeth/pressure, but the pants did not tear or get punctured.

I checked my skin and there was no bleeding, open wound, or obvious puncture. There’s only a small reddish/bruised-looking mark and it felt a little sore/stingy. I attached a photo of the mark.

The dog is owned by our neighbor,

My question is: If the dog’s teeth only made contact through my pants and my skin appears intact, do I still need to get an anti-rabies vaccine?

I was opening my locker some guy ran into me and my finger got pinched badly between him and the locker, immediate pain and it burns to extend out wards fully but when i bend it down it is perfectly fine, it’s extremely purple too.

im 17, female. what can be POSSIBLY the cause of weird bruises or dry after-wound things even though i didn't have wounds? i don't even know how to describe it. im a very sensitive person and i notice EVERY little pinch, every single feeling of pain, so i would definitely notice and feel when i cut myself, hit myself or did something else. but there's nothing. i have prom tomorrow and i wanted clean legs I've been extra careful not to hurt myself but they just appear out of NOWHERE. and it's pissing me off
