How to treat bites and stings from summer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Use Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and Hydrocortisone 1% cream. The Benadryl (diphenhydramine) can reduce the itch and the Hydrocortisone can reduce the inflammation. Also, watch for signs of infection, if so, see your doc.
