[|Human|] I was stung on my foot and on my leg by a wasp 10 days ago. A bit of swelling and now 10 days later the site of the sting are red and warm to the touch. They also itch like crazy. I tried hydrocortizone cream this morning but it didn t help the itching. What can I try?
[|AI|]  Welcome to Chat Doctor, IF it is a wasp or bee sing, the first thing to do is to remove the sting, if the sting is inside the skin, it will take a long time to heal.  The next thing is swelling nothing to worry about that you can apply ice.  The other one is itching in the bite area which can be managed by antihistamines.I feel that because of the itching only you have this swelling for such a long period. Mild analgesics can be used for pain relief. And antibiotic lotions can be applied. Hope this finds useful with regards Chat Doctor.
