Suggest Remedy For Lump Like Formation Above An Old Injury
I was bitten buy a dog 3 years ago. I recently discovered above the bite on my upper leg I have a small bump. It Doesn t hurt and moves while touching the area. Like the dog bite the surrounding areas skin is a bit dented in. Could is be a cyst caused from the dog bite or something else?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such swelling could be the soft tissue inflammation chances of infection may be likely although this would be very rare condition, right now it can be managed with anti-inflammatory drug and best would be "Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg" three times in day, this is not the cyst formation, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
