I was stung by four bees in two weeks. but after i'm stung the area swells, itches, and bruises. am i allergic at all?! please help! thanks!

Perhaps: Bee venom often induces swelling and itching even if you are not allergic to it. However you reaction may also signal the presence of bee venom allergy. If you have no other problems such as fainting, breathing problem , or throat swelling, no further treatment is indicated. Be sure to scrape out or use tweezer to remove the stinger nearest to the skin when you get stung again next time.

Approximatey 3 weeks ago I was stung on the inside of my elbow (in the bend) by what appeared to be a sweat bee. I immediately applied alcohol to the sting. It has itched in that area every day since the sting and I apply alcohol each time it itches. Yesterday a cluster of 12-15 small bumps appeared in the area of the sting. I am looking for advice on how to treat the area as it itches also. Thank you. Rash possibly related to sweat bee sting?
