Is This Normal Of Having Redness And Itching On Bee Sting Area?
I was stung by a bee last Thursday behind my left knee. It caused redness, itching a.day swelling. I was told to take benadryl and followed up with my doctor the next day. However the area still looks red, alost like a bruise surrounding the site. Still itches a little. Is this normal?

hello sir, i am sorry to hear about that you were stung by a bee , but i want to assure you that the bruise and itching you are talking about is absolutely normal , it occures because of allergens at the site of bee sting , you should be all right in few days , take any anti allergic medication, like benedryl or tablet cetrizine. wish you good health , take care.
