Yes. A large branch fell on a small box wood plant last Saturday ( two days ago). After removing large branch, took off my gloves to remove the broken box wood branches and reach into the bush and received a sharp hot sting on end of my little finger. Could not see or find the insect, there was no marks or stinger in the skin. Treated with ice and desoximetasone .05%, which reduced the stinging. Went back to work. Use the desoximetasone every 3-6 hours and stinging reduced. Finger did not swell much until now. End of finger is swollen about 50% in size, hard, hot, and pink. Swelling is spreading down finger.
Hello, THX to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that insect sting has foreign protein that has injected in the screen. The reaction in terms of swelling is because of reaction of body to that foreign protein. I think you discuss with your treating doctor with antihistamines (chlorpheniramine male ate), oral steroid (prednisolone), analgesic (diclofenac) & antibiotic (Amoxicillin). Also take good local care in terms of cleaning, Chat Doctor.  If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Than. Chat Doctor
