How To Cure Itchy Bump On The Forehead After Bee Bite?

I got stung by what I think it was a bee on Monday on the left side of my head right by my forehead. The area where I got stung is itchy, it doesn t hurt but there s bumps about 2 inches away, they don t hurt. There s also a bump by my ear and that does hurt. Is this normal?

Hello,
thanks for the query

the bumps you are having are as a result of hypersensitivity
reactions to the substances injected by the insect. Itch is a
common symptom following insect bite. Avoid to rob or scratch
else itching will continue.

Symptoms will resolve after a few days but some drugs could help
reduce the itch and swelling such as chlorpheniramine ( to reduce
the itching) and ibuprofen (anti-inflammatory to reduce swelling).

So you need not to worry, if it had to be serious (anaphylactic reactions) it could have happened earlier, so for now no pressure.

Best regards
Dr Achuo
