Intermittent Pain, Itching Sensation Throughout On The Site Of Dog Bite Years After The Incident. What Should Be Done?
Hi, I met with a dog bite before 11 years and after a few days i had a high degree fever . i informed my parents about this and they took me to a local phyisician. He gave me 3 anti rabies shots.But till now i have pain and itching sensation in the dog bite site. in a day around 3-5 times the healed wound is paining. Please suggest here...
It is not possible for a dog bite wound to itch and pain for these long years. Probably it is a different skin manifestation at the site of dog bite.
You may consider using calamine lotion at the affected site for relief of itching. It is better to get it examined by a Dermatologist as it has been there for 11 years now.
I wish you quick recovery and good health.
Regards,
