I recently went swimming in the sea. I was swimming in the deep sea and suddenly I felt a burning sensation on my left hand. I saw three red spits which then became reddish and the burning sensation increased. My friends who swim there regularly said that it's a jelly fish which emits this effect. How best should I treat this.
