To add to what Renee_77 mentioned,  don't let your dog get away with too much biting.  You might want to say NO! in a loud voice and stop playing with him everytime his teeth touches your hand.  It's tough love but it's better for the dog in the long run. sooner or later he'll realize that you don't like it when he nibbles on you.  if you let him get away with this he will carry this bad habit into his adult life and with other people also.  Try to buy a couple books on dog behavior, it worked for me being a first time dog owner and now i have a well behaved 1yr old dog that gets along with everybody.  Good Luck!!

Puppies are generally hyper, the only thing you could really do is maybe buy it a chew toy or treats to chew on. See their teeth are still growing and it causes them pain so they release it by chewing :) It should go away in time. And for you, if its an open cut just make sure to put some hydrogen peroxide and you'll be fine; never leave open cuts untreated

Good luck with your new puppy :)
