I was stung by a wasp about two weeks ago. Iced it down and because i get a slight allergic reaction of swelling and irritation I took Benedryl and used benedryl ointment on the bite on my side.I also got bit on the top of my head and that was treated the same way. I now still have a red area bu the sting and have developed bruises. I know I have scratch the area but not that hard to cause bruising. Could the bruising still be from the bite?
Hi.welcome to Chat Doctor.thank you for hoping us. You have insect bite dermatitis.my opinion is that,1.apply antibiotic creams like fusiform ointment twice daily on the area for 7 days.2.take analgesics like ibuprofen tablets twice daily for 7 days to control pain.3.take levocetrizine tablets twice daily for 7 days, if you have itching.4.maintain good hygiene around the area. Hope my answer will help you.I wish you for your good health.
