Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Please post clear and focused photos as these help a lot in knowing the site, inflammation and so on.
Stop The local application.
I hope, you have taken some anti-inflammatory medicine with painkiller property like Ibuprofen if it suits you.
Any oral medications taken?
Any history of diabetes or checked for recently?
