Can you change amount of pain of a cut?

Today, I had a bee sting, and I was pressing down with my nail on the skin near it, making pain to cover the sensation of the first pain. Whenever I have a small cut or the like, this seems to lessen the pain. Why is this? Does the new pain cover up the new sensation of a different pain? Does it just trick my brain?
