I got stung by a bee/wasp a week ago. The swelling and redness has improved, but now there is a white-ish pus-filled center. Should I be worried?

It is likely that the lesion is infected. You will require a TT injection if you haven't had it within 6 months. You will require antibiotics, antacids, antihistamine, painkiller and a topical antiseptic. If the problem persists or worsens visit the ER at the earliest.
