Bug bites or something else? in Health ·
stormymaker24 said:it looks like a sting to me—maybe something a bit more aggressive, like a wasp?

On another note, I feel like bugs have gone absolutely rogue lately—I’ve been finding these massive bites on myself (nearly an inch wide) that swell up and then turn into these hard lumps. They eventually fade after a week or so. It's bizarre.

Honestly, you should probably just stick to what your doctor advised—and if it starts itching—well, I think you know better than to scratch! 😉

Btw, did you check to see if there’s a stinger left in there or something? Is the swelling going down at all?

It isn't going down and there's no sign of a stinger... and it still hurts.

I was hiking through the Appalachian foothills last Sunday when I got stung by something—honestly, I haven't a clue what it was. There’s some redness about two inches wide and it's a bit tender. My doctor prescribed a course of Sumamed 500 mg (six tablets total) and some topical Bacitracin—any thoughts on this regimen?
