<human>: Hi I am a 52 y/o woman, I was bitten by a dog on my leg I have a huge hematoma and I would like to know how to care a hematoma when you are a diabetic.  I was diagnosed with type II diabetes a couple of month ago and I am still learning about the condition
<bot>: Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:1. Hematoma is collection of blood outside the blood vessel.2. Depending on size, it will take up to two weeks to disappear. 3. Diabetes, if not under control, infection risk is high at site of dog bite.4. Rabies vaccination is essential, especially if dog is not vaccinated. Antibiotic cover is necessary due to diabetes infection risk. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
