Should We Be Concerned About The Painful Red Big Sting?

My husband felt a big sting, after looking at it for 2 days, it has one tiny little hole that looks like it may have something inside. It got extremely red and hard about 1/2 in. then got a lighter pink about 3in circle around... Says it hurts when muscles are moved... Should we be concerned?

Hi
Thanks for your query at HCM.
I understand your concern and situation.

I would suggest you to get your husband to a surgeon who can evaluate the region and take out the sting. You can give him over the counter pain killers. Apply antibiotic ointment over the area.

Hope I answered your query
