HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It sounds as though it is infected.
This would cause it to ooze and would also cause a red appearance and increase in size.
She may need to see her doctor for assessment. It is possible that a topical antiseptic cleaning at least twice daily and the use of a topical antibiotic may be enough, but her doctor may also suggest oral antibiotics along with this.
If it is painful the use of a NSAID such as ibuprofen, naproxen or cataflam may help.
I hope this helps
