How To Treat The Blood Blister Caused By A Dog Nip?

I was nipped by a dog almost 2 months ago. It bruised and I think a blood blister formed. The swellinspg seems to have gone down but I think the blood blister is still there. Hard to see if it healed because it is right on top of a brown freckle/birth mark. Any insight u can provide would be appreciated.

In my opinion it is normal nothing to worry.

It will take some time to blood to get absorbed.

If the wound is infected than you have yo worry.

As there is no sign of infection there is nothing to worry

As it is on birth mark it will take some times.

Please maintain the cleanliness and local hygiene it will help in speed up healing.
