Use a dock leaf. I've no idea what a dot leaf is.

Dock leaves spring up around the nettles, otherwise, just keep scratching it.

Answer 7

they are actually DOCK leaves, and the dock plant usually grown near nettles. These have been known as a cure for thousands of years- the Romans used them, and in Medieval England, they were known as "docken". No dock leaves? try vinegar.

Answer 8

Just a guess, but would it be similar to a jellyfish sting? In which case you can "naturally" "cure" it by urinating on it. Not the most polite thing I guess.

Answer 9

not a dot leaf a dock leaf could try aloe vera maybe, as it works on burns.

Answer 10

Dock leaf or aloe vera gel
