I should note, I have had some back aching in the area since the rash, not severe.
Do you recognize these bumps as stings?
Any other ideas?
Hi,
Most sting reactions are caused by five types of insect: yellow jackets, honey bees, wasps, hornets, and fire ants.
Wash the affected area with soap and water, then apply ice or a cold pack to reduce pain and swelling.
Use topical steroid ointments or oral antihistamines to relieve itching if needed. Apply a 1 percent hydrocortisone ointment, which is available over the counter, if the itching is significant. An antihistamine such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl), also available over the counter, may also help.
Seek immediate medical attention if the sting gets infected or if the rash doesn't subside or progresses.
