Will My Dog Bite Leave A Scar?

If you have been bitten by a dog, and the wounds are deep and bled, then it is likely that that bite will leave a scar. These scars may fade with time or they may be permanent, disfiguring and/or painful. Some wounds may even produce keloid scars, which is when scar tissue grows out of control and ends up raised above the skin.

While small scars may fade away over time, others may never go away. But there are various treatments to reduce scars after a dog bite. These treatments include: 

• Dermabrasion, which entails sanding down the scar
• Pressure scar modification
• Surgical excursion of the scar
•  Make-up to cover up the scarred area 

If the dog bite was unprovoked, and you were acting within the law at the time of the attack, then the dog's owner may be held liable for your damages. To find out if you are eligible for compensation in a Chicago dog bite claim, you can get the professional advice of a Chicago dog bite lawyer.
