Hi
Thanks for your query.
It appears from the description that the infection is spreading. So you should not delay the treatment any further. I would recommend immediate examination by a doctor and starting treatment.
If you can upload a pic I can give you some idea what it is. But apart from infection, it can be dermatitis or allergic too.
Hope this helps.
