You should see a doctor to be sure you don’t have an infection which would need oral antibiotics. The local treatment you are doing, and keeping it covered, may not be enough if it is already infected. If it is not infected, what you are doing should keep it from getting infected and it should be feeling less painful and look less red. See a doctor ASAP! Best of luck to you!
