Ugh! Forgot to mention that the day after I stepped on a bumble bee and got stung on my right instep I did it again but this time it was my left big toe. Neither are painful but they are itching more now than when it happened. I inspected the sites before I got out of bed and they are slightly redder than the surrounding skin. It's quite annoying and made it harder to get to sleep last night.

Does anyone know how long this takes to fade away? Is there likely to be anything at the chemist that I can apply to reduce it?

Get some liquid anbesol, the tooth pain stuff, it worked wonders numbing my right foot big toe when I got bitten by a fire ant back in 2003.

@NativePortlander1970 Thanks. Not sure we have that here though.
@ninalanyon Even the regular tooth and gum pain gel should work, but the liquid absorbs better.
