Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your case history of painful swelling, my treatment advice is -
1. Apply ice on the lesions twice daily.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like Fusiderm cream on it.
3. Take a NSAID like Ibuprofen for pain and swelling.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral Lasix given only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
