The Stinging Jinx^[2], also known as the Stinging Hex^[3] (incantation unknown) is a dark charm that can be used to sting the victim's flesh, producing a red brand like a scorch mark^[3] and causing swelling^[1]. The affected flesh feels tight, swollen and puffy as though the victim has suffered an allergic reaction, and if used on the face the eyes are reduced to narrow slits^[1].

Hermione Granger used it on Harry Potter after they were caught by Snatchers after inadvertently triggering the Taboo on Voldemort's name in 1998.
