A member asked:
I got stung 4 days ago by a wasp. my stomach swelled up with a noticeable red welt about 10"x5" around the sting. the redness is still there and numb?

Skin reaction: to the venom the wasp injects when it stings. It can last up to a week, then should gradually improve. If you start having difficulty breathing or throat swelling, see your doctor or go to the ER. Hope this helps!

I have a wasp sting from yesterday. and I'm not sure if it is spreading redness or not. It itches, is red, and is a little warm to the touch. It might be spreading in a circle around the sting very slightly, but I am worried about cellulitis. Worry?
