Question : I was stung by a wasp a few days ago. I now have bites under my arms that look like mosquito bites. But there are enough of different sizes and it could be a rash - just under my arms.

Detailed Answer:
Hello

My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. The symptoms and history are suggestive of allergic reaction in response to wasp. It usually takes few days to improve. If i were your treating doctor then i would have advised following things:

- cetirizine one at night for 3 days
- try to wear clothes that will cover the arms completely

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
