I got hassled into getting advice 24 hours after it occurred as it had a red ring around it and I have allergies, 111 were concerned and wanted me seen at A&E, the consultant was pretty confused but when I explained what it was he agreed with me that a serious histamine reaction would have kicked in immediately or at least the same day and there was no sign of necrosis so I was given antibiotics in case of infection and didn't end up needing them.</p></blockquote><p></p>
