I was working a flea market today and got a red was sting on my ankle, at first it just hurt a little- now it is swollen and red, numb and I can't bend it without pain or walk without pain..
Any ideas?
Couple of pics
Evident swelling, and bending it down hurts.. (its the left ankle)-- I do have a scar from stiches as a kid, it's below that.
Black section above is enlarged below
It HURTS,(does not itch) is swollen. Painful to walk, bend it, etc... And very hot to the touch.
I have used Benadryl cream and Hydrocortisone Cream, I may put some lidocaine gel on it to cool it a bit- other than that, anything I can do? I have never been stung by anything before, so evidently I'm allergic.
