Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a bacterial infection of the skin. I suggest to clean the area with hydrogen peroxide and cover it with an antibiotic cream such as Neosporin cream. Cool compresses can also be helpful in relieving the inflammation. In case of pain,you can also use an anti inflammatory medication such as Tylenol to relieve the pain.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
