I love tattoos but dread the healing process because I am allergic to any time of ointment and lotions tend to make me break out. Normally the healing for my tattoos is red, itchy mess for about a month or more. I was so excited to hear my tattoo artist tell me to use coconut oil.
Here are the steps you need to take after someone who is allergic has been stung: 1  Remove any stingers immediately. Some experts recommend scraping out the stinger with a credit card. 2  Applying ice to the site may provide some mild relief. Apply ice for 20 minutes once every hour as needed.
Other Essential Oils. Another essential oil for repelling bees is tea tree oil, sold at many health food or beauty stores. Tea tree oil can be used alone to soothe stings and other skin abrasions, but it can also be mixed with almond, orange and citronella oils to create a homemade bee repellent.
