Can A Blister At The Bee Sting Site That Happened A Week Back Be Treated And Cured?
Brief Answer:
Steroid antibiotic cream, antihistaminic, short course of oral steroids
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply a potent steroid antibiotic combination cream like Fusidic acid and betamethasone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistamine like tablet Cetirizine 10 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching and burning for 5-7 days.
If it doesn’t show improvement in 2-3 days you might require a short course of oral steroids like tablet prednisone 20 mg once daily for 5 days.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.

Dr. Asmeet
