Wasn't sure what board to post on, I guess my question counts as anatomy maybe.
I got bit by a dog yesterday. I boiled it out and cleaned it with peroxide and alcohol then wrapped it for a while. When I took the bandage off it looked ok but after a while the flesh or muscle or whatever started swelling and poking out of the wound. What is this and how do I stop it?

While I kinda understand your point, you should know than people died just because a bat bit them since they carried rabies. If I were you, I wouldn't take this kind of risk.

That has occurred to me and it's definitely on my mind but right now I just want the inside parts of me to be on the inside

Post pics of your wound
It's probably inflammation from infection, and Neosporin is probably not going to do it. It's time to see a doctor.

Then you definitely can't afford to die or lose a limb because you're too much of a dumb ass to preserve your own health.

I have amoxicillin from a few months ago. If that doesn't do it I'm biting the bullet and going to the doc
Fucking America man, truly the third world of the first word

We could have effective, useful free healthcare if not for all the niggers and beaners

Your first mistake was boiling yourself. Unless you want to inflict trauma/death upon yourself, you should avoid this.
Although you are probably a complete retard when it comes to medicine (as made apparent by you boiling yourself), I somehow doubt you have congenital analgesia, so it's safe to assume that it's not the actual muscle poking out. If I thought you'd be able to handle this on your own, I'd give you some advice. I do not think so, therefore I can only urge you to see a physician.
Fucking retards, man.

You... You're kidding right?
"boil it out" is a common term for cleaning a wound with peroxide because it bubbles up

What country are you from?

The US
Fasciaitis. It will start to rot if you dont get that taken care of. Ice it and take nsaids. If it does nit improve in 24 hrs go to a wlak in clinic. A few hundred will be a lot better than the 20k when your arm has to be amputated.
