Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I got stung by something...although I'm not sure it was a bee...under my arm kind of at the top of my armpit. It itches really badly sometime and is quite red in about a 2 inch radius. The immediate area looks kind of bubbly. It has also caused a lymph node in my armpit to swell. What is it and how can I treat it?

HI Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.
Quite obvious it is a Insect sting and it is going for Infection as the lymph node enlargement indicates that.
You need to be started on Antibiotic medications along with a Tetanus Shot . So kindly consult your doctor and get these medications for your self .
Hope this information was useful to you. Any clarifications feel free to ask .
Regards.
