Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic.
Seems to have got infection in that area. I would suggest that yo get a prescription for an oral antibiotic ( penicillin or cephalosporin group of antibiotics e,g Amoxycillin or cefadroxyl) for a week from your local care practitioner.
An OTC antibacterial once or twice daily e.g 2% mupirocin can be applied at the site of infection.
An OTC painkiller once or twice daily would help symptomatically with the pain and discomfort.
