How Can A Dog Bite Be Treated?
Approx. 4 yrs. ago, I was bitten by a dog on the palm of my hand, inline with my ring finger and closer to my wrist, while attempting to help my father release him from a bad environment, into a recovery environment.
About 6 months later, a boil or bump begun to form, and has continually increased in size since..
I am a Precious Metals Artisan & Pianist.. It has truly begun to affect my work..
Please help..

Hi
Greetings from HealthcareMagic!
Trauma can result in the formation of a cyst at the site. A cyst is a sac. It can become infected intermittently. It can be removed if it is bothersome, this would be a simple procedure. In some cases, it can be done in office.
You may need to see your doctor for an assessment.
I hope this helps.
