See a doctor: The expanding rash with pain and warmth suggest significant inflammation and possible infection. Best to see a doctor for examination.

Infection concern: This is now day 3 and I would expect a reaction to be getting better not worse. The symptoms of hurts to touch, hot and continuing to move down your arm are concerning for infection. Be seen today by a doctor for assessment and treatment. I hope this gets better soon.

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?
