Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was stung by a ray approx. 10 pm this evening while fishing in San Diego Bay. The ray was only approx. 10" long. I had a glove on but the sting still broke the skin in the palm area and blood began appearing. I treated it right away with alcohol and a sting pain ointment. After returning home 4 hours after being stung I treated the wound with vinegar and Neosporin. The pain is still there but tolerable. I am a 67 year old male in relatively good health with no health issues and no known allergies. Would you recommend any other treatment by me at this point and do you believe it is necessary for me to be seen by a Doctor? Thank you, Mike M
