A member asked:
My wasp bite, after three days, is turning purple with white spots. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The toxin does that: Wasp bites can be very serious, but that is usually within a few minutes of having been bitten. At this point, you should only need anti-itch medicine or pain medicine if need be. The effects that you are describing will gradually go away. The wasp injects a toxin that you body has to clear.
