Brief Answer:
An abscess has developed.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through the description and have checked the attached image. It seems that you have somehow developed an abscess. In other words, it is a localized infection. The resultant inflammation is causing it to be hard, red and warm. You sould urgently seek surgical assistance and get the abscess drained. The infection needs to be contained and antibiotics should also be needed.
Please see a doctor at the earliest.
