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?
