Injection: Ice the area..... Make a mark at the borders of the redness.... If it gets worse, see your doctor to consider if this is cellulitis

Call your doctor: If you can't get in touch with doctor go to an urgent care or ER to get evaluated. Sometimes it can be just post procedure irritation, however if its an infection it can get worse if not started on antibiotics right away.

See your doctor: to determine if it is a local reaction or an infection. Try a warm compress to the site till you see your doctor.
