Ouch

Try vaseline. My daughter swore by it for nettle stings when she was small. Ive tried it and it does seem to help.

I am so genuinely sorry to read that and I know from experience how painful it is and that it can last for quite a long time. I want to genuinely and sincerely wish you all the best of luck.

All my hopes and dreams for you

I did that once while out in the "wild." Luckily there was a cold stream and some plants growing that helped calm it down. (I don't remember what all those were, but one was watercress)

Maybe some diluted peppermint essential oil or some strong peppermint tea - cooled - would help relieve the pain. Peppermint, arnica, aloe can help. But it will go away eventually. Sorry for your pain.
