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?

I got stung by a yellow jacket hornet yesterday on my right upper arm. It itches, and is warm. I have a red area that could be spreading a small bit. I have been applying hydrocortizone and neosporin. Is it normal that it is warm to the touch?
