What Causes Inflamed Skin Around The Pacemaker?

The skin around my pacemaker has become very red & looks inflamed--noticeably different from other chest skin--an area about 5 inches in diameter. The pacemaker has been in for 8 months. I have no fever or skin eruptions at the site. Keflex treatment for 5 days has done no good. Any ideas?
