infection on hand?
My dog recently scratched my boyfriends arm, and the next morning, she woke up with this on her wrist. She has had it for about three-four days now, and hasn’t shown any sign of improving. It’s red, swollen, and about the size of a half dollar coin. She said it’s pretty sore, too. Does anyone know what this might be, and how to treat it? She would go to the doctor, but she doesn’t have insurance, and she’s unemployed, so she can’t afford it at the moment.
The pictures were recently taken, and the links are posted below. Thanks.

We’re aware that it’s probably an infection, but can anyone tell us what kind of infection it might be? (Our dog doesn’t have any diseases, and I have never had this kind of reaction when scratched by our dog)
Sorry. Meant Boyfriends MOMS arm.
Does anyone have any suggestions for now, until she gets to see a doctor?
its gonna have to be lanced, cultured, and antibiotics ordered. if you’ll notice the inner and outter rings of peeling skin……. this is an active infection that is causing deterioration of the layers of skin. soon you’ll have swelling into the hand and fingers and probably up to the elbow. i would venture to say that there is some form of foreign material imbedded in there too since i has puckered and looks like it could come to a head, which it won’t until the infection is so bad it has no where else to go. better to go to a doc and have to make payments for treatment than a surgeon and have to make payments for removal of lower part of your arm. and you might want to face it that you’ll probably have along standing scar there too.
that is not cat scratch fever. first off, the infection would start in the lymph nodes and spread out. second, rochalimaea henselae is not the correct bacteria. it’s caused by Bartonella henselae. and 3rd, since over 50% of cases are from people who have absolutely no contact with animals, the AMA no longer considers animal contact a reliable course of infection. by looking at the pics, there’s a greater chance that is MRSA than CSF. i see those almost every day and that’s not an infection related to animals. maybe some foreign body deposited by a claw but not a transported bacteria. the frigging skin is dying away man. that’s not CSF. it’s a protruding pustule with reddening edema. you could easily have fever with any infection since fever and inflamation go hand in hand. fever fights infection by cooking the bacteria. that thing needs to be lanced, packed with idoform, and treated with cipro and bactrim d. you can try triple anitbiotic ointment and soaking with hot towels to try to slow it down some.
