Black mark on wasp sting?

Who can identify this as a wasp or a bee sting?

  • I got stung by an insect which i am assuming is either a bee or a wasp about a week ago. I'm not real sure but i am leaning towards wasp due to the fact that i have never gotten a blistery bubble on my finger before with a bee sting. Also, should i pop the blister? Or should i let it pop on its own? I have added pictures to let you see the blister that was left behind. The blister barely showed up like 3 or 4 days ago. It is really annoying, it makes my finger stiff, it doesnt itch that much but the first 3 days it itched a lot. Thankyou thankyou thankyou! Hope you can help me out...

  • Answer:

    Can't identify it, sorry, but it looks uncomfortable. If it was me, I'd use an antihistamine cream on it (typical of creams that are sold at pharmacies for insect bites). I'd probably pop it, keep it clean, put a bit of antiseptic like iodine or hydrogen peroxide on it, and keep it covered. If it doesn't start improving in maybe a week, or if it gets worse, I'd see a doctor. Pity you didn't see what bit you.

The stinger of a bee has a barb and breaks off in the skin and continues to pump venom. after a bee stings you, it does. A wasp has a smooth stinger and can livev to sting again. If you saw a stinger in your arm (the best way to start at the base and push out with something like a credit card, it was a bee. If not, it could have been something else.
