Two Red Marks On Foot After A Sting. Severe Pain, Swelling. Took Advil, Applied Ice. Solution?
Yesterday I felt a stinging sensation on the top of my foot which had a shoe on. When I removed the shoe there were two small red marks like a spider bite? Within an hour my entire foot and ankle had shooting fire hot pain with minimal swelling and no redness at the site of the bite. It has been 24 hours and my ankle feels like I have torn every tendon and muscle in it. I have taken Advil, used ice and antihistimines and also poulticed my ankle. What is going on?
