Was bitten by a dog on my cheek near the mouth three weeks ago.  Some scarring, but healing well.  Under the wound that was closed with 6 stitches is a round, firm lump.  No redness, drainage or fever.  Only minimally tender with pressure to the area.  Is this normal healing?  Will the lump go away?  Could it be an abscess?
Hello. Welcome to Chat Doctor, The history of dog bite on the cheek following which it was sutured. Usually dog bite wound shouldn't be sutured if it is to be sutured it should be done only after administration of rabies immunoglobulin around the wound. The history clearly suggest that wound is healing normally, and the healing will be completed in few days. Proper and adequate treatment should be taken for the dog bite with antirabies vaccine and antirabies serum. Thank you.
