Just got stung by a bee on my back, no one is home and I can't reach it to get the stinger out

Any recommendations on a salve or something I can apply around the area to draw it out on its own?

I know it was a bee because after I jumped up I saw it floundering on the ground beneath my lounge chair outside where I was sitting.

Also, one of parents (who is unavailable) is allergic and goes into anaphylaxic shock when stung so has to carry an epi-pen.. this is my first been sting and I have no idea if that kind of allergy can be genetic. So far no allergic reaction that I can tell but just thought it might be something I might need to be aware of and mention as I'm not sure how much time it takes for that reaction to occur.
