a question not directly related to bee keeping, but as keepers you may know the answer. 9 days ago I was trimming some shrubs and got stung on my forehead by what I assumed was a bee, as closer inspection of the surrounding vegetation revealed lots of bees in the vicinity. I took an oral antihistamine straight away, and have been putting antihistamine cream on the sting site. There is still a red, non painful mark on my skin, which does not seem to be settling. Is this usual? I have also used some steroid plus antibiotic ointment I had for infected excema. This is not serious enough to trouble my GP about, just wondering if other people have had similar experiences?
