Suggest Treatment For Bruise On Skin After A Dog Bite
I got jumped on by a dog and scratched. I don't think it cut the skin but it was pink, then in a day it bruised. Now a few days later it's bruised dark in a circle. Will this go away on it's own or should I get a medication. I'm 23, 115 pounds, 5'8" and don't have any medical problems. Diabeties does run in my family.
Hi, Nothing to worry, from history it seems that there might be having small scratch might have leading to minor blood leaked forming small bruise. Apply ice pack for 2-3 days. Gradually it will be absorbed. go for tetanus toxoid shot. Ok and take care.
