There is a risk that the bites could cause an infection. Make sure to clean the wounds thoroughly and monitor for signs of infection. That is very concerning that the puppy is biting hard enough to make you bleed and you should consult with an animal behaviorist to help resolve this behavior before he is fully grown.
