HI, Andi!

How are you doing now?

If it's swelling and itchy, that's the sign of an allergic reaction and a doctor should be consulted. There is a chance that it could get more dangerous.

Additionally, you really need to make sure to avoid the caterpillars in the future, as subsequent stings could cause more serious reactions as allergic reactions can worsen with more exposure, in some cases.

Hello Verwon,

it feels the same, very itchy and i think the rashes scrattered on my arms and body and i cant help to scratch them. im really worried that it might take a long time to heal and it will scar. im applying anti itch cream on it and im also drinking antihestamine. i will consult my doctor tomorrow if theres still no changes. thank you so much for your response. i really apprecciate it. :)
