Does A Dog Bite Cause A Lump Under The Skin?
I got bitten quite badly by a domestic dog a week ago on the upper arm. It did not puncture the skin as I was wearing a jacket, but it had been very bdly bruised for the past week and there is a hard lump under the skin, not visible to your eye. What is this?

Hi,
It seems that due to dog bite there might be having some hematoma along with bruises.
Apply icepack 2-3 times a day for 2-3 days.
Ok and take care.
