What Causes A Lump At The Dog Bite Site?
I was bitten by a dog a week ago, it s teeth didn t break through my pants but it did break the skin, which I m guessing is just from the pressure of the dogs Mouth. It was small, not deep at all and healed with a little bruising. The bruise is almost gone but I ve developed a lump where the bite was and I have no idea what it is. There s no pain or redness or puss. Just a lump, any ideas as to what it is?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having small collection of blood or some induration following dog bite.
As there is no signs of infection, nothing to worry, gradually it will be absorbed.
Apply ice pack for 2-3 days.
Go for ARV shots.
Ok and take care.
