Hi,
It seems that due to dog bite there might be having some infection, swelling and induration giving this problem.
Apply ice pack over the part for few days.
Gradually it will be subsided.
If swelling or pain increases then you might require one course of antibiotic for 3-5 days.
Ok and take care.
