Suggest Remedies For Red And Painful Bump On The Ear

Yes Thank You. I was bit or stung on the ear by something on Memorial Day and it is still very red and painful. It is about half way up my ear in the fold and it is an open would that will clear up and scab and then re-open and sometimes skin peels off. I was hoping it would clear up and sometimes it looks okay but other times it flares up and is very red sometimes bluish purple and swollen.
