Bites of any kind can be very dangerous. Bites from humans are often the worst. Careful cleansing of the wound is extremely important. A tetanus shot may be needed. Often antibiotics are used to prevent infection.
A medical examination may be advised. Call your family physician and describe what happened. Be prepared to describe the wound. Tell the nurse what you have done to treat it so far.
If you don't have a regular doctor, consider going to one of the local clinics that take walk-in patients. Visits to the emergency department can be very expensive and are not really needed for this type of injury.
