I was stung or bitten by something last autumn, on my elbow. Half my arm went bright red and swelled up rather a lot. After about 24 hours of agony (the most pain I've ever felt), as a last ditch attempt to avoid seeing any doctors (they work for the government etc), I spread some manuka honey on it. Within an hour it was bearable, and it subsided gradually after that. Manuka honey is a great thing.
