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.
Local reactions. 1  The sting involves injecting venom into the human from the bee's stinger. 2  The main symptoms are pain, itching, swelling and redness at the sting site. 3  Severe pain or burning at the site lasts 1 to 2 hours. Swelling: Normal swelling from venom can increase for 24 hours following the sting. 2  Stings of the upper face can cause severe swelling around the eye, but this is harmless. 3  Redness: Bee stings can normally become red. 4  That doesn't mean they are infected.
