What Is The Treatment For Bee Sting?
It feels like a bee stung below my right shoulder on the outside on my arm, but it wasn t a bee sting-I was in the middle of an indoor volleyball scrimmage (plus no swelling, bump, etc) when it started to hurt. The pain went away when I used Focused Pain Relief creme (containing 8% diclofena and 1% bupivacaine) but the stinging feeling returned a couple minutes later. Any ideas? I have to play in a tournament tomorrow and need to be in tip top shape. Thank you!

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
For a bee sting presenting with localised reaction, I would suggest washing the area with soap and water followed by icing the area.
Apply a steroid cream like hydrocortisone or fluticasone cream two to three times. This would resolve the redness and treat localised reaction or inflammation.
As there is no pain or any severe systemic reaction, so there is nothing to worry.
Thank you.
