Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It is looking like cellulitis, a deep bacterial infection.
I treat such cases with intravenous antibiotics.
Please meet a doctor and get antibiotic started.
Oral antibiotics can also help but the response will be slow.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
