question: A dog bit me 3 weeks ago on my inner thigh, but I didn t seek medical attention. I have two punctures from the bite. The one cause by the upper tooth was deeper and the size of a nickel. The one caused from the lower tooth was more like a cut, but also removing the skin. I ve been cleaning the wounds myself with hydrogen peroxide, povidone iodine solution, and antibiotic ointment 3 to 4 times a day. The wounds are getting smaller, but there s an area the size of a 50 cent Kennedy coin that s red and hard, feels like 1/4 of an inch deep which I m worry about.
