Brief Answer:
Seems to be a bacterial infection, oral & topical antibiotics.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

According to your complaints, it seems to be a bacterial infection.

I would recommend you to take a course on oral and topical antibiotics.

If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to take capsule cephalexin and apply fusidic acid cream on the affected area.

For pain and swelling take anti-inflammatory medicines like tablet ibuprofen.

Antibiotics are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.

Hope I have answered your query.
