Is A Dog Bite Slightly Bruised Up A Matter Of Concern?
I was bitten by a dog about 1.5 months ago on my lower inner thigh. The skin broke and I cleaned it and kept it cleaned the following days. It did bruise up quickly and was there for about 2.5 weeks. It s been over a month now and it tends to be really itchy to the point that it will break out in hives. Sometimes it even is tender and swells up. Should I go see a doctor?

Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience with itching and swelling with associated bruises around your inner thigh following a dog bite yes it is course for concern
Please see an emergency physician for clinical assessment and adequate drug prescription
Besides you will benefit from tetanus toxoid injection and antirabies injection
I hope this helps Regards
