Bit by a dog on my arm but it didn't break the skin. there is a lumpy bruise- maybe a small hematoma? what can i do to speed healing?

DOG BITE: In any case of a dog bite the wound needs to be evaluated for the infection risk stratification, some wounds need prophylactic antibiotics. Remember to wash the area, avoid using any home remedy Indirect heat in the area maybe heals a little faster the hematoma.
