I was bitten by a small dog back in Jan. 2014... The skin was broken and the site bruised immediately, however I didn t have any pain (happened at 9 PM) I cleaned the site w/ peroxide and continued with my evening . 6 hours later (3 AM), I had mild, but very noticeable itch on the back of my body. In the morning around 11 AM I went to the doctor and got a tetanus shot and an antibiotic prescription. I advised the doctor that I was itching all over, but he did nothing about it. 7 PM I ended up at an urgent care with a hot feeling rash from my neck down to my pelvic area, which I know wasn t caused by the medicine. I had to be given steroids, and Benadryl to avoid going into the E.R. that night. The next day the rash came back because I didn t take the additional steroids by mouth or the Benadryl. It s been two months, and the bite area is still seriously itching w/ a small knot underneath, even though it healed beautifully. I do have severe allergies, but never had severe reactions towards any dogs. Why am I still itching months after the fact? I itch all over now after the bite, but the bite area really itches! My body doesn t feel the same after the bite. The dog that bit me did have his shots. Do I need to seek further care and if so, what would a doctor look for? I didn t think too much about the bite right after it happened, but a day afterwards, between the bite and all the medicine, I was really sick for about a week afterwards. Could I still be having a reaction? Should I go to an allergist?
