How long does it take for a yellow jacket sting to heal?!
Question: How long does it take for a yellow jacket sting to heal!?
So!.!.!. I got attacked by a swarm of yellow jacket's a week ago and recieved 12+ stings!. The pain has stopped but now there are fairly large lumps (about the size of a half dollar coin) under my skin!. The lumps are extremly itchy and are often red!.
As far as I know I am not allergic to bee stings - and I had no major allergic reaction to the stings immediatly after they happened!.
*note: They started itching the day after the stings occured - and I did scratch them (i couldnt help it - they were so itchy that i would have gone insane if i hadn't scratched them!.)
Is this a part of the normal healing process of yellow jacket stings, or should I have this checked out!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

If the bumps still remain there after a week, I would see a doctor to make sure its not a reaction!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
