Are Swollen, Pus Filled Bumps On Thigh Due To Bee Sting Concerning?
I got a bee sting 2 days ago and it has since then continued to swell up and is now taking up a quarter of my thigh and makes it hard to bend my leg. There s bumps that carry puss in them all surrounding the sting itself and the skin is raised. What should I do? Should I just call my doctor, or go to urgent care? How serious is this?

Go to urgent care. It sounds like you may have gotten an infection from the sting and it is spreading in your skin. This can be serious if it keeps spreading. You will probably need antibiotics and if an abscess is present, it will need to be drained. So get to urgent care right away. You can call your doctor and see what he or she wants you to do, but you should be seen by someone today. Hope this helps.
