Are Skin Blisters And Numbness Of The Arm While Working Outdoors Dangerous?
I was mowing my yard close to a tree when I felt a sharp pain like I had been poked by a needle. I did not see any bug nearby. I looked at my left arm and noticed I had a group of welts. I began to feel itchy right away so I went inside and scrubbed the area well with soap and water and took Benadryl. I am no longer having pain but feel like my arm is a little heavy and a little numb. I still have a few welts but they look less raised.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
According to me, it could be a Insect Bite Hypersensitivity Reaction. You can continue Bendaryl till you have itch. Apply Hydrocortisone and fusidic acid combination cream twice daily on welt for a week. If you do not get any improvement, do consult your Dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
