Hello dear
I understand your concern
Redness and swelling is may be due to infection spread and that lead to abscess formation.
It is better to consult the physician and get the examined for proper management.
Take following advice:
Apply war pad application
Tablet zifi, tablet seritopeptidase.
If not resolves then it should be drain by putting incision.
Hope this may help you
