[|Human|] I was bite by a cat thee weeks ago it was infected and I took an oral antibiotic for a week and a half. I had six puncture wounds all healed normally except for three of them healed with lumps under the skin I saw a np who said this was scar tissue and not to worry. But this week its been itchy and small red bumps are appearing around the punctures. Should I be worried? I also suffer from eczema and the bumps are similar to that,.
[|AI|]  Thanks for posting you query to Chat Doctor .as this lesion develop around your scar could be due to secondary infection or edematous lesion as such lesion can develop on scar mark. If it is due to infection it will swell up, appear red, filled with pus and would be associated with fever or body ache. So if you develop symptom of infection contact to your general surgeon for taking treatment accordingly. If you feel only itching no need to worry about infection just take whatever treatment you are taking for your eczema and if not received contact to your dermatologist. Hope you would be satisfied with my answer.  Feel free to communicate if any query.regards, Chat Doctor.
