hello there,
yes it could get infected. but the inflammation is causing the problems which you are facing. suggest you to visit a doctor who would prescribe appropriate medicine to reduce inflammation .
infection and inflammation are different entities. if the area is infected the doctor would prescribe appropriate medicines for that also.
all the best!
