Stung by a bee 4 days ago. the area red, warm, swollen, hard and 3-4" in diameter. it suddenly turned a deep red-purple color. no pain/other symptoms?

Bee sting: If there is spreading redness with warmth, superimposed bacterial infection is likely and antibiotic treatment for cellulitis is indicated. A physician should examine you for diagnosis and treatment.
