I got stung by a bee or a wasp yesterday at work. The bee sting happens to be on my nipple and the spot doesn't appear to be swelling but is red and is quite itchy. Is this anything to be concerned with?

No need to be concerned, severe allergic reactions to venom stings (like bees and wasps) occur within minutes to a few hours after sting. Since the sting occurred yesterday you are likely just having some localized skin symptoms post-sting. Always make sure to remove the stinger after a sting, use a credit card to swipe the stinger out, never use tweezers as this can squeeze more venom into your body. The residual redness and itching will resolve over the next few days. Can treat with OTC antihistamines and topical corticosteroid creams if bothersome.
