Insect stings on dogs (images)

Do they look like this:









Ziggy here had a spot like this on her ear last year and now has one on her nose. The ear spot last year healed on its own, but looked pretty nasty while it did. Tag has several on his legs. My assumption is that the spots are bee stings since it's spring and we have lots of flowers in our yard that attract them. Also, the dogs like to chase the bumblebees. They may be intellegent creatures, but sometimes they're not very bright.

Any special way to treat the spots other than wait and make sure they don't get bigger or infected?

KC used to snap at YELLOW JACKETS and wonder why she got stung sometimes.

Calamine gel would help heal the stings and stop the itchies. Just make sure Ziggy's tongue can't reach the sting (calamine doesn't taste good....yes, I tried it. No, I won't be doing it again).
