Suggest Remedies For Wasp Stung On The Upper Right Arm
I got stung by a wasp about 2 weeks ago on the inside of my right upper arm. There is no stinger in my arm. After about a week or less my arm became very sensitive to touch and then I broke out with a small blister type rash on the side of my right thumb which is very painful. Also have a little red spot on the back and inside of my right forearm. I have not gone to a doctor, but am wondering if this will go away on its own or if I need to get on an antibiotic or something else. There have been a couple of nights that my right arm had shooting pains and kept me awake.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, what the skin condition you have may not be due to wasp sting but it seems to be some viral infection and if it so then it may not need any treatment but calamine lotion can be tried, if condition does not improved then it is better to see the dermatologist hope this information helps.
