One of my dogs accidentally bit me a few weeks ago, during a scuffle with another dog. It wasn't a really serious bite- definitely didn't require stitches and barely bled. It was, however, a bit deep. I treated it with triple anti biotic a few times but it never appeared to bad enough to seek medical attention.
There was bad bruising around it for a couple weeks afterwards. Now, the bites are pretty much healed (one was a little nip on my thumb, the other was an actual bite on my thigh). However, there are now "tough" lumps under where the wounds were- somewhat like the lumps that remain where a piercing once was. They're a little tender, but don't bother me by any means- they just feel like a bruise when I touch them firmly.
Is this normal of dog bite wounds? Like I said, they don't really bother me. I'd just like to know if I should be concerned. Neither bite ever showed any sign of infection.
