bee sting?
i don't really notice when i get mosquito bites or any kind of bites, but i think i have a bee sting [first time]. it's on my index finger right below the knuckle. i'm pretty sure that it is NOT a mosquito bite because it hurts, like when you gently touch it. its a pinkish/reddish dot and its like swollen all around it.
sorry that the pic is blurry, my camera's a Vivitar and its kinda sucky. i really need your guys' help.

Yeah. That pic's kind of sucky. You can use a hydrocortisone cream which is cheap and easily found at the pharmacy part of a grocery store. That will likely help with the pain. It could be a sting, a bite, or even a splinter. What fits what you were doing before it showed up? Were you gardening or hanging out near a wooden rail? Were you near bees or mosquitos or something else?
I hope the cortisone and the baking soda remedy from below can help you.
Tell you parent if it gets redder, hot, more swollen, or gets a line of red leading up your finger into your hand.

If it hurts, it's either a bee sting or spider bite. To alleviate the pain, pour some water on the area and put some baking soda on it. It takes the sting away instantly.
