Go to the doctor: If one is not available an urgent care center if one is not available an emergency room. Sounds like you have a infection and need an antibiotic. Tetanus status should also be checked.

See a podiatrist: You need to have it looked at to determine if it is an infection and needs antibiotics, or needs topical meds.
