What Causes A Bruise And Swelling In The Bitten Area Over The Elbow With Severe Pain?
I got bit extremely hard right over my elbow and I got a bruise that never went away its brown in color. I noticed there is a lump under the skin and that area seems more swollen then my other arm. Whenever someone touches me there it is extremely painful and at other times I dont feel it. What is it?

Hi,
It seems that due to hard bit there might be having soft tissue infection giving rise to edema, swelling, cellulitis.
Clean the wound properly and dress with antibiotic cream.
Go for one antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course.
Ok and take care.
