Should I Be Concerned For The Bite Of Horse Fly Causing Pus And Soreness?
My friend was bitten by horse fly or march fly on the top of her foot, approximately 9 weeks ago. Since, the wound has become pussy and sore. Also a feint red line running upwards from the wound appeard. I'm worried that this has become serious, where as she is not worried about seeking medical attention. She has not developed any other obvious symptoms at this stage.
Please, your advise would be appreciated.
