Rabbies or not
Dr,
I am sorry for asking again but scared
A stray dog licked a surface and I touched it immediately by mistake and I have small bruises around nails due to nail bite.
I am observing the dog it's the 8th day. The dog isn't drooling or paralysis.
Does this mean I am safe now?
I am scared due to my nail wound

Well if the skin isn't intact then you must consult your physician regarding this and complete your vaccination. That'll ensure complete safety.
