Suggest Treatment For Bluish Discoloration Of Foot Due To Bee Sting

I got stung by wasp maybe twice on bortom of my foot 36 hours ago. It swelled up and was quite painful. I took antihistamine double dose, iced and elevated my foot. Later today I also applied vinegar to stop the itching. The swelling is going down but now my foot looks a bit bluish.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The blue discoloration is due to the inflammatory reaction from the sting. It should decrease on its own.

It does not indicate that there are problems with your circulation of the foot.

I hope this helps
