Bee sting for sqad!

[netibiza]

Advice please have a bee sting on the ball of my foot, and two middletoes are itching and slighty puffy, have to drive later. Have dug around but very difficult position and cannot see if the sting is still there although it hurts so guess it is. Can I leave it there, will it do more harm or fade away, just impossible to a) see it and b) get to it??

Hi! neti......just awoken from a siesta and spotted your post.

Smear it with anthisan cream, or any other antihistamine cream.

If none in the house, then any steroid cream will do...eg hydrocortisone.

Netti can you not use a mirror to see if the sting is still in there?

P.S Ibuprofena 600mgms....should relieve the pain.

Sorry didn't see the last bit.......if you can't see the sting, then there is nothing that you can do about it....no it won'rt do any harm.

Thanks sqad have both types of cream, I had just saved the little blighter from the pool and forgot so trod on it! Really hot here today!

Can see a red dot but just cannot see even with magnifying mirror and glasses.

sounds like the sting isn't left in then Neti. When I got stung on my thumb, the sting was very visible.

Thanks all, seems OK now and I could drive with no worries.
