Hello, Swelling could be because of acne . You need to take antibiotics like doxycycline which could take care of the infections .The skin infections are to be treated with antibiotics for a long duration like 10-15 days. Secondly you should wash the area properly with betadine solution and soap and water. Consult a dermatologist or ent specialist and take the medicines. In doubt do reply
