My son has a circle rash under his arm where he was stung by a bee 2 weeks ago?

Rash: the skin may have gotten infected, you should probably have him checked.

Infection possible: The initial inflammation from a sting two weeks ago normally would have resolved by now. Persistent redness is concerning for a skin infection. Bacteria can be introduced to the wound when the stinger punctures the skin. Drug resistant bacteria are becoming more common, so an office visit would be wise.

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.
