Itchy, Swollen , Painful Blisters Under The Feet Due To Insect Bite. Treatment?

Under both my feet I have what I guess are insect bites (three under my left foot and one under my right foot). They started by just itching as if they were ordinary mosquito bites, but then they started swelling, developed small bruises, and now there appear to come blisters. It really hurts and I cannot walk properly due to the pain. It also itches. It started around 30 hours ago in Ethiopia. I am now back in Europe. What can this be? How should it be treated?
