Why My Arm Is Swollen And Itchy?
Hi, I got stung about 12hours ago, in the top of my arm. I removed the stinger about 3 minutes after being stung, but my arm has swollen, gone blotchy and is now very numb, it feels like I have a dead arm. My hands, feet and head are also very itchy. I've never been stung before so don't know if this is normal.

Hi,
Looking to the history there might be having poisonous bite giving severe allergic manifestation.
Looking to its local reaction there is likely of having systeminc manifestation as well.
Consult your doctor and remain under his observation for developing any systemic problem.
Meanwhile take antihistamine like Cetrizine or Levo-cetrizine.
Ok and take care.
