How Can A Wasp Bite On The Finger Be Treated?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,

As per your case history of wasp bite, my treatment advice is:

1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like Fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like Levocetirizine for itching and NSAID drug like Ibuprofen for pain.

If the problem persists, then consult a dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
