My pet dog which has been vaccinated for rabies bit me 14 days ago on my right palm dorsal surface and it got infected within 3 days , took antibiotic and now the wound is better but I had itching sensation 2 days ago and there is small reddish eruptions around the wound since then. The itching has reduced now. I took a shot of TT on the day of injury. What might be the cause of itching? ? I have been bitten by my pet dog before also but this time the wound is bit big and I had taken full course of rabies vaccine 3 years back. Now this time I didn t take any. Should I be worried about acquiring rabies??? Please help.
Hi.. welcome to healthcaremagic.com and myself Dr. Atishay Bukharia would be answering your questions..
it is not uncommon to have itching around the wound and it is due to the secretion of mediators in the process of wound healing. itching can also be attributed to synthesis of collagen and dryness while the wound heals so it is a good sign that wound healing is commencing normally.
hope it helps
