Uncertain: You did not mention that skin was broken. It may not be related to an infection. Neosporin is for treatment of infections.

I got bitten by my dog two days ago on my wrist and it didn't seem to break skin. I applied Neosporin to the area just to be safe. Last night I noticed a hard bump not unlike a big bug bite in the area. Do I need to see a doctor or will it go away?
