I got a small scratch from a feral, should I be worried?

Hi cat people.
I was feeding some feral and two of them got into a fight while I'm putting the food. My hand was in between them and I got a small scratch that didnt hurt and drew just a tiny bubble of blood. I've read feral scratches need to be treated by doctors but this one is a very small scratch so I don't know if it's worth it or not.

The kitties didn't mean to hurt me, they attacked each other quickly and my hand was in the middle.

Make sure you wash it well and put some antibiotic cream on it if you have some and it should be fine. If it starts to go red, itch or swell have it checked out.

Thank you for your reply! It's barely noticeable now so hopefully it's nothing.

Cat tip of the day: always wear gloves around ferals.
