A member asked:

If i got stung by a jellyfish in the face, can i shave my facial hair?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Best to wait: It would be best to wait until the swelling and inflammation from the sting cleared up before shaving. Shaving over an inflamed area may set you up for a skin infection and/or cause you to have more pain.
