Bite

[pinkpixie83]

Not sure if this is normal or not.
It's bloody painful and my whole thumb has swollen up.
I take anti histamine anyway and have been putting hydrocortisone cream on all day.

your whole thumb doesn't look red & swollen
Is it so swollen that you can't move it normally?

It looks swollen to me. But I think antihistamine is probably all you need unless it gets redder or worse.

Ouch.

Looks like a cleg bite or a good bloody wasp sting?

Nip to chemist and they can advise but ice it and if worse get someone to check it.

It's swollen but moveable the skin feels really tight. I'm covered in bites but I haven't seen one look like this before. I think I'll leave it for tonight

Ice. And the strongest cream tomorrow, I.e. hc45 over the counter, all to go with the anti-histamine. To be fair though it looks tiny!
