Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
The top of my hand and half way up my middle finger, all of a sudden became bruised and swollen. I did not injure it that I remember. On closer inspection, I found two small brown specks between my middle and ring finger. I pulled them out and they look like slivers or even stingers. I was laying out in the sun about an hour before this. Could this be a bee sting or insect bite that could cause this bruising and swelling? I took two Benadryl and ibiprofurin. Never felt any sting! Thank you
Hello, In my opinion the symptoms you exhibit are synchronous to a bee sting. Its possible to be unaware of the sting for sometime before pain manifests. If I were your treating doctor I would advise you to keep ice on your fingers. Hope I have answered all your queries. If you have any other question I would be happy to help. Thank you.
