I'm guessing the retained stingers are worse. Not familiar with that, I don't think anyway. I had some nasty boils as a kid, who knows.
I'm a bit chagrined at how ignorant I was about first aid for this. My client gave me some calamine lotion. Whether or not it offered relief I couldn't tell you. No control experiment was run. Was still plenty uncomfortable.
