I wouldn't go to the doctor right now. Start by putting hydrogen peroxide, iodine, bedadine, etc on it. If you don't have any of those use bleach on it. Yes, bleach... My mom's a doctor and put bleach on my finger after I got bit by a turtle.
Just keep it clean, antibiotic ointment.
If you notice it becomes painful and the skin around the affected area becomes red/hot, then I'd go to the doctor for antibiotics.

Just to be on the Safe side i would. just to get it looked over

i would

I guess, seagulls eat trash..so that can't be good if it bit you, basically if your skin broke you should get it looked at. If not no reason to panic.

i would just to be safe. no worries though im sure
