Little bumps that itch me and they are on both elbows. can i use bactroban (mupirocin) ?

Not appropriate: Bactroban (mupirocin) is for staph and strep infections. You are not describing infection. IF OTC hydrocortisone or moisturizer fails to relieve it, see a dermatologist.

Approximatey 3 weeks ago I was stung on the inside of my elbow (in the bend) by what appeared to be a sweat bee. I immediately applied alcohol to the sting. It has itched in that area every day since the sting and I apply alcohol each time it itches. Yesterday a cluster of 12-15 small bumps appeared in the area of the sting. I am looking for advice on how to treat the area as it itches also. Thank you. Rash possibly related to sweat bee sting?
