Monitor infection: The bruising you are experiencing is likely a result of the normal healing process, however ulcers, pain, fever, drainage or redness should prompt a visit to your doctor.

Yellow jacket sting: If there is no swelling, redness or tenderness, it is probably past the point where u should seek doctor's advice. You can clean with peroxide and then put neosporin at the bite.
