What Is The Treatment For Red Blister With White Hole Like Bee Sting?
I was cleaning up some wood piles outside and got a bite yesterday. I had a bump with two holes and it looked like pus or something sticking out it stung like a bee sting. It has become a big red blister with a white hole in the middle with a swollen red patch around it with a hard reddish line extending from it. It still stings and I don t know how to treat it

Hello,
It seems to be an insect bite reaction. I would recommend you to take a short course of oral steroids like tablet prednisone 20 mg once daily for 5-7 days, apply cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg twice daily for 7 days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
