Puppy's Teeth Scratched The Skin Of Wrist And Arm. Tiny Dots Appeared And Grew To Inflamed Lines. Applied Neosporin. Is It An Infection Or An Allergy?
my friend s puppy was playing with my hand and her teeth lightly scratched the skin of the top of my wrist and lower arm . One could see nothing until the next day when little lines with red dots appeared even though I d showered. The tiny dots grew and grew until the lines were 1/4 to 1/2 inch inflamed lines that within a week, had lesions. I had washed it often and applied neosporin , but nothing affected it. I eventually stopped as I realized it was probably not an infection but perhaps an allergic reaction. That was 2 mos ago and the skin turned pink, peeled, and has lightened and gotten browner in time. What was that?
Hi welcome to HCMForum. Every thing has happened around the scratches of the puppies teeth. there is no itching. so it appears to be the infection, & not allergy. as the body resistance comes into action every thing has subsided. If it is still brown & peeling i advise you to consult a dermatologist.
Besides i advise you some diet recomendations as, avoid eating cereals, fish, and tubers.
Also advise you to eat green leafy vegetables, eggs , meat and chicken to build up resistance.
Wishing for an early recovery.
