How To Get Rid Of A Lump Under The Skin After A Dog Bite?
I was bitten by a friends dog about 10 days ago on the under side of my upper arm. There is a large contusion approx 6 to 7 inches long and about 4 inches wide. It did break the skin and there is a golf ball size lump under the skin. It is still very painful and I cannot stand anything touching it.

Hi,
It seems that you might be having big hematoma following dog bite.
Now there might be having infection developed.
Go for one antibiotic and anti inflammatory medicine course for 3-5 days.
give rest to the part.
Go for ARV vaccination.
Ok and take care.
