See Dr: You need to see your dr or urgent care for antibiotics. Warm compresses to area several times a day and topical triple antibiotic to area won't hurt, but get it checked.

See doctor : Sounds like you are getting cellulitis which is a bacterial infection. It is treated with antibiotics. Take anti inflammatory medications ( if you are not allergic to anything ) and see doctor.
