Suggest Cure For Itchy Lump In The Inner Thigh Caused By Dog Bite

I was bit by a dog on my inner thigh almost two wks ago. I was given the antibiotic cephelexin. The wound has healed up well, but it feels lumpy under the skin and I also have small itchy bumps around the scabs. Can you tell me why I have the under skin lumps and what the outer itchy bumps could mean?

Hi,i can understand your problem.Swelling or lump at the site of injury is due to natural process of healing and take some more days to go.For itching you can apply some moisturizer and you can also take some anti inflammatory medications like cetrizine 10 mg ant bed time
Thanks
