This : This is not an emergent situation unless you have a high fever or severe pain. You may have a cyst or abscess. Try warm compresses and neosprin over the area twice a day. If this does not work, schedule a routine office visit with your primary care provider. Best of luck.

Possibly.: Fever, redness and pain are all symptoms requiring examination by a health care professional. Wash the area with soap and water and cover with a dressing if it is draining, it may resolve or it may worsen.
