Your symptoms suggestive of superficial bacterial skin infection. Kindly mention the size of swelling to comment further. You can apply topical antibiotic cream like Neosporin over bump. I suggest you to consult nearby doctor for examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
