I have been stung by a black bee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bee sting : Remove the stinger, wash the area with soap and water, Apply cold compresses. Applying honey or baking soda mixed with water, or toothpaste(not for wasp bites) are some home remedies. For severe allergic reactions, go to the hospital. If there's redness and localized itching, apply corticosteroid ointment. If spreading redness and burning, secondary infection may be present and an MD should treat
