Is it bad that my bee sting is hot to the touch?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Bee stings cause a localized irritation which causes the body to react with swelling, redness and pain. It is a normal response, but if the swelling continues to worsen, pus drains or you start having fevers, see a doctor for medical care.
