Is Itching Sensation At An Insect Bite Site Despite Using Medicine A Concern?

Was stung by a bee/wasp yesterday am. Two stings one larger than the other. The larger one has developed a bruise about the size of an apple around it. Should I be concerned. It just itches today. I put alcohol on it yesterday and an itch suppressor. Repeated the itch suppressor today.

Hi,

Bees sting may lead to little morbidity in the form of pain,irritation, discomfort ,swelling and redness and may remain for few days. So, you should take proper treatment in emergency. Consult the dermatologist immediately.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
