A member asked:
Can you get an infection from an exposed nerve ending on your forehead. bite from dog between brows. no stitches required. nerve pokes through skin.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More from the bite: You are more likely to get an infection from the bite rather than the exposed nerve. It must not have been to large to require stitches, so I am not sure how a nerve would be exposed. Be sure to keep it clean and take any meds your doc may have given you to prevent infection.
