HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that if this is the bee sting then this need to be examined clinically and if the sting found there then this need to be removed this is the ideal way to handle the bee sting if the sting left there as it is then chances of infection is very likely, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
