Suggest Treatment For Swelling In Right Arm
I have a swelling in my right arm in the elbow crease. I noticed after I had been bitten about 2 inches up the arm and thought it could be a reaction from a bee bite? Help please. I have had it for 8 months and it is not tender and the swelling has gone down quite a bit but popped up when I was in Arizona and the swelling lasted a couple of days.

Hi,
Microscopic skin scraping is only test can help in diagnosis. Use ice packs and if itching or other symptoms then topical antihistamine are good and take tetanus shot, entomologist can see and help. More over good immune system can eradicate it. Take healthy good diet, do breathing exercises. Antioxidants and multivitamins can help.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
