Redness and pain: There are many possibilities but those symptoms make you think of infection or inflammation. It is also possible you may have a foreign body. Have it examined by your doctor and get an XR if indicated. Also any change in your shoes? All the best.

Cellulitis: Soreness and redness, in your case sounds like too much pressure being applied to the metatarsal bones. This can occur from prolonged standing or walking with poorly cushioned shoes. You need to address this, If this pain does not subside. then see a specialist to evaluate your problem specifically.
