I got stung by something at the beach and it hurt quite a lot at first. Felt like there was a giant needle being stuck behind my knee. Within 15 minutes an elevated red area the about 2 inches diameter popped up around there. After showering I put some antibiotic cream on it , and now, (about 12 hours later) it is no longer elevated but is just a dark red patch. It doens't look like any of the pictures of jellyfish stings so I"m having trouble identifying what it is because I want the dark red patch to disappear.
Any clues as to what it could be?
