I was attacked by two dogs.I have 16 puncture wounds on my right leg, my upper buttock, and my left breast.i have been off my feet for two days and got medical treatment directly after the incident.Today, I went to work and now there is very dark bruising around the bites that was not there before.Should I be worried?
Hello dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have read your query and understood your concern. As per details, it seems that the bruises after the dog bite are the sequel of the trauma that happened to you at the site of bite. Actually there are small blood vessels In our skin which when rupture due to trauma as dog bite in your case results in blood accumulation underneath skin. This subsequently heals and leave discoloration which appear as bruise on the skin. If you have taken antirabies injections and washed the area timely, you need not to worry about the same. I hope I am able to solve your query. Stay healthy.
