Hi,
It sounds like an abscess. If it sore and red you should go to the emergency department and see if it is ripe for incision. If it is not an abscess, you should get an ultrasound.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anders Mark Christensen, General Surgeon
