<human>: I was bitten by my dog about 23 days ago. I went to urgent care and was treated with a variety of antibiotics as it became infected rapidly. long story short, it has healed well. However, there is a lump on my wrist near one puncture wound. the swelling has done down, but the lump remains. is this normal? will it gradually subside? note that it is not hot.
