Please go to ER: Could be a number of things that need to be evaluated right away. These are very unusual symptoms. Usually redness and pain is present with infection. The symptoms you describe could be due to subcutaneous emphysema, air trapped under the skin. Usually occurs in the chest and neck area. Skin would feel crackly to touch.

I recently had an ultrasound right breast & axilla. A few days later large painful red bumps(like extremely large pimples) developed. I used baking soda paste to bring them to a head. I didn't pop them bc too painful?
