Brief Answer:
It is good for skin infection too.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Yes, Z-Pak oral should help with skin infection too; which has occurred after a bee sting.

Also, apply liquid Povidone Iodine locally to avoid secondary infection from the skin.

I hope you have no other medical problems and do not take any other medicines.

I hope this answers your specific question.

Take care.
