Nettle stings typically appear as small, raised, red welts on the skin, often accompanied by a burning or itching sensation. These welts can vary in size and may have a slightly swollen appearance. In some cases, blisters or rash-like patches can develop, particularly if the skin is sensitive or if the sting is severe. Overall, the reaction usually subsides within a few hours to a couple of days, depending on individual sensitivity.

To avoid irritation, it's best to handle nettles with care or wear protective clothing when in their vicinity.
