Likely: Infections like this tend to intensify once they get started. The location is worrisome.A common 1st step is removal of the foreign object so any treatment can fully access the site.Hydrogen peroxide can help clean the site & does kill some germs. Antibiotic cream can also help. Go in for evaluation if it does not improve.
