How Can A Wasp Bite On The Finger Be Treated?
I was stung in my right index finger two days ago by a asp. There is now a huge purple/red pustule on the side of the finer which is swollen and hurts and another pustule forming on other side. What to do? I have taken Bendryl and Clariin. YYYY@YYYY

Hello,
As per your case history of wasp bite, my treatment advice is:
1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like Fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like Levocetirizine for itching and NSAID drug like Ibuprofen for pain.
If the problem persists, then consult a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
