Suggest Treatment For Itchy Patches On The Skin

I had gotten bit by a pitbull about 2 maybe 3 weeks ago and my brushing has gone down but I have a huge ball under my skin which seems to be wider now. He broke skin but there was only two puncture wounds that closed up immediately . Before the ball I experienced a dry patch on my skin that began to itch and I ve noticed today I have two itchy patches today and as I scratch is hurts but does feel good . Do I have an abscess because I tried squeezing and it felt as if something popped under the skin ?? Help i don t know what to do

Hi,

I think there is a wound infection may be an abcess under your skin.

You should go to surgeon to drain it and he will give you antibiotics.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
