How can you remove a bee sting thats been there for over a year?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Med tx.: If a foriegn object could not be scraped out at the time of injury then it may be deeply embedded. "bathroom surgery" carries inherent risks. Recommend that you seek medical assistance for this one.
