Hi.
As per your case history of dog bite, my treatment advice is -
1. Numbness is normally felt on freshly stiched wounds.
2. If there is no pain nothing to worry. Continue applying a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm on lesion twice daily.
3. You can apply a placentrax gel for faster healing.
Thanks.
