    Stung by nettles
    Today I got stung by some nettles normal I just put a dock leaf on it which I did but then I had an allergic reaction and my hands started to blister so we went to the pharmacy and she gaves us a cream called Benadryl which is a skin allergy relief cream but it has not made a difference now five hours on it feels like I have constant severe pins and needles and little red dots on my hand..
    Does anyone know how I can stop the pain ?
    Thanks.
