Brief Answer:
Local antiseptic ointment will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Excessive grating can cause such an inflammation. It is best to apply an antiseptic ointment like Neosporin H in the area and take an oral anti inflammatory like ibuprofen thrice a day after meals. This is likely to improve in 3-4 days. No need to worry. In case the inflammation and pain increases then oral antibiotics may be needed after consulting your physician.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.

Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
