Hello
thanks for using Health Care magic .

I would be pleased to answer your question
I would suggest you should apply neosporin cream on the area twice a day . You can take over the counter tylenol to reduce the redness and inflammation.
If it does not improve , you will need to visit a Dermatologist . thanks and take care . You should also get a blood test done to rule out diabetes.
I find this answer helpful
