Hi. Greetings. This seems to be an acute inflammation and would advise you to take immediate medical help in the form of visiting a dermatologist personally. You may need a course of anti biotics - topical and oral. You could contact me on follow up chat or at least send pics on govindmittalatgmail.com. hope this helps.
