Is It Normal To Have Hard Swelling, Itching, Redness After Bee Sting?
I was stung by a bee 7 weeks ago. Typical reaction of swelling itching and redness. Developed a hardened area the size of a silver dollar but went away after a week or so. This area has now redeveloped the hardness swelling itching and heat. Please advise if this is normal

Hi,
It seems that this might be due to allergic reaction caused by bee.
Take Cetrizine or Benadryl medicine for 2-3 days.
Apply calamine lotion on the part.
Ok and take care.
