hi.
have you had a recent history of trauma involving that area, or an insect bite? what you're experiencing may be an inflammatory reaction, progressing into a cellulitis (soft tissue inflammation). if it gets infected, an abscess formation might ensue. a consult with a doctor is best for physical examination and clinical evaluation. diagnostics, such as CBC, will be requested as needed. medical (proper antibiotic regimen) and surgical (if indications are found) management will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
