The best thing to do is clean the area, cover it in antiseptic cream and put a plaster/ dressing over it depending on the size. You may be left with slight scarring if it is a large area where the top of the skin is taken off, like a graze, but that should fade with time. If they are just small scratches I doubt it, though they may be at first when they are fully healing, though not very noticeable. However, it does depend a lot on the individual.
It will be likely to be red and swollen and sore. This is a normal reaction to damage to your body and is necessary for it to heal properly.
