A member asked:

I got stung by a bee tour days ago and the itching hasn't gone away wat shud i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Be patient: It will soon be better. You can try a cortisone cream. A wet aspirin [not coated] rubbed over it will relieve itch. An antihistamine might help.

A member asked:

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?
