Does Wasp Sting Cause Cyst Near The Sting Site?
Yesterday I got stung by a wasp and took aspirin and Benadryl and hives went away and soreness was gone before I went to bed. I noticed when going to shower last night I had swelling on the right side of my chest a couple inches below the sting area (got stung on under my right arm around half way down my pit on the outer side). Woke up this morning and swelling is now down to my right side of my stomach and appears to be like a fluid sac. No pain just pressure from swelling. It s like its moving down. Is this normal? No itching, vomiting, diarrhea, or headaches.

Hi
i appreciate your concern
Wasp sting causes an intense inflammatory reaction due to release of various cytokines allergic mediators which produces heat redness swelling pain at the site
once inflammation subsides it may convert into a cyst that may resolve over a period of time
so you need not to worry
it will be alright very soon
thanks for your question
good luck
