How Can An Insect Sting Causing Itchiness And Bruises Be Treated?
I was stung by a wasp about two weeks ago. Iced it down and because i get a slight allergic reaction of swelling and irritation I took Benedryl and used benedryl ointment on the bite on my side.I also got bit on the top of my head and that was treated the same way. I now still have a red area bu the sting and have developed bruises. I know I have scratch the area but not that hard to cause bruising. Could the bruising still be from the bite?
