Suggest Treatment For Red And Itchy Skin After Being Stung By A Bee

default
Posted on Sat, 24 Jun 2017
Question: I got stung by a bee on Thursday. I showered and scrubbed the area. Today the area of the sting is bright red and itchy. The unusual part is there is a large area around the red filled with fluid and has a blue/grey circle around the outside. I have never been allergic, but have never seen this reaction before, especially 2 days after the sting. Do I need to be seen??
