Brief Answer:
Infection, possibly fungal
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. I have checked the attached image. It could be due to an infection, possibly fungal. There is an inflammation associated. I would insist you to apply some antifungal, antibiotic, mild steroid combination like Clobate GM (contains clobetasol, gentamycin and miconazole) few times a day for the next few days (not more than a week). You may take some antiallergic like cetirizine once daily for the next few days.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
