What Does Hard Raised Spots On Arm After Dog Bite Inidcate?
my dog bit me on my arm on my mid arm. it punctured only in one place and bruised me badly with the top teeth where the arm folds and arteries run. this happened about 10 days ago, now I can feel and see at least four raised hard spots one being where he punctured my skin and bleed for about 15 minutes. What do you think these hard spots are? is it infection or blood clots? am I going to get a stroke one day or sepsis? Should I see a doctor?

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
Raised spots may be due to inflammation after dog bite. I were your treating doctor I would have prescribed you oral and local antibiotics for the wound , anti rabies vaccine full course and anti tetanus toxoid shot. All the best. Do not worry about stroke/sepsis.
