You seem to have developed severe allergic reaction due to bee stings.
I would like to have a look at the exact skin condition.
Please click some close up pictures of the affected area and upload them here on right side of this page.
Such a reaction in most cases needs to be managed by topical application of steroid creams along with oral antihistamines or steroids.
I am sure I will be able to help you better once you provide me the pictures.
