Got bit/scratched by my cat earlier today

It was a very small puncture wound on my knee that was bright red but didn't bleed that much, wasn't deep, and only stung at the initial puncture but hasn't hurt all day. It's been like 5-6 hours since then. Cat also scratched or possibly bit the area in other places as well (it was too fast for me to see, as he had both his paws and mouth there for a split second), and now there is a slightly raised reddish line that looks like a scar being healed over, though I'm not sure. The small puncture wound is gone and I don't see any trace of it, just the line. Nothing hurts or is swelling as far as I can see. Should I seek medical attention? Sorry if questions like this aren't allowed here, I'd just like to hear from other's experience since I am still fairly new as a cat owner
