hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
Pain and redness does suggest that there is an infection in that area.
I would suggest that you get a prescription for an oral antibiotic (penicillin group e.g Amoxycillin) for a week from your local care practitioner.
A topical antibacterial ointment e.g 2% mupirocin can be applied at that site, twice daily for a week
An OTC pain killer would help symptomatically.
