What is the best treatment for centipede sting?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Treat symptoms: With a centipede bite it will likely be a very irritating reaction locally to the skin. Would recommend cortisone cream and try to keep wound clean with antibiotic ointment or cream. If severe see your doctor.

Bite: I have also found that adding water to baking soda and apllying it can help until you can follow up with cortisone type cream.
