Question 3

what stung/bit me? stung on my chin, which burned bad. then bruises appeared and spread along my jawline. finally scabbing and dead skin falling off.

Accepted Answer

Insect bite: Not able to say with certainty, but the pain, bruising and dead skin suggest it may have been a spider.  If you are in the southern midwest a brown recluse, aka &quot;fiddle back&quot; spider is a possibility.  I think it is wise to see your physician unless it is definitely healing.

Complication from ?: Was there an injury or a procedure done? Can't have a complication if nothing was done.

Question 5

wat to do if ur bee stings looks like bruise?

Accepted Answer

Ice, Benadryl (diphenhydramine): This sounds like a normal (though perhaps more extreme) response to a bee sting.  Most likely some immune response without it being a true or dangerous allergy.  Ice and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) should help some but you will be helped most by time.

Question 6

what can cause a bee sting turn black and blue like a bruise?

Accepted Answer

Painful hematoma: The stinger may have injured/punctured a superficial blood vessel that bled locally causing the hematoma (bruise). Ice, elevation, decreased use, and minimal compression (ace wrap) should help improve your pain and bruising from a local hematoma. If symptoms do not improve in a day or two,  seek medical evaluation.

Question 7

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Bruise ? trauma: Have you had any trauma? do you paly with your boyfriend? Have you fallen. I am not sure this is important but would be good to know the cause. sometimes a vein will rupture spontaneously. 
Time should resolve this problem.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Question 10

standing when suddenly i had a stinging sensation on my knee, i looked and it swelled and had a vein over it, next day it's bruised, what is it?

Accepted Answer

Bruise: A bruise happens when there is trauma to an area underneath which lies a vein. Another way of looking at it... the vein leaks under the skin. If there is a big leak or fast leak, it may feel like burning or itching or throbbing. I've had that happen when I bump my knee really hard or I bump the back of my hand where there are a lot of veins. It should go away in a few days.
