Why Do I Have Pain In The Spot Of Dog Bite?
A large dog bit my foot yesterday. The bite caused very minimal superficial damage to my skin, but when I touch a spot on the arch of my foot it causes a shock of pain and I have discomfort when I go up onto the ball of my foot while walking. Any ideas as to what might be wrong?

Hi thanks for asking question.
You have superficial dog bite at foot.
Your skin somewhat get damaged and superficial nerves injury so you definitely feel pain.
I advise you to clean bite area with soap and eater.then apply sterile bandage over it.
Apply topical antibiotic cream over affected area to prevent infection.
If source of dog or its status not known then better to take antirabies vaccine.
I hope I have solved your query.
Take healthy diet and more fruits.
Don't worry ..
