Itchy Painful And Swollen Foot, Stepped On Bee. Tried Benadryl, Itching Powder, Creams, No Results. Suggestions?
Hi two and a half days ago I was at the public pool and stepped on a bee in the grass. I went to the first aid lifeguard and they said they thought the stinger was out and just sprayed stuff on my foot. It's been itchy swollen and slightly painful. Yesterday it was red around the area and now it's a patch of purple. I have tried benadryl, itching powder, drug store bee sprays/creams, putting ice on it nothing seems to be working. Do you know why this bee sting is this bad, do you think it's something else?

Hi,
It seems that this allergic rashes caused by poisonous insect bite.
Now some infection took place on rash.
Go for antihistamine like cetrizine and one course of antibiotic medicine after consulting your doctor.
Ok and take care.
