Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should start combination of amoxycillin and clavulanic acid.
As it is having excellent effect on skin infection.
And along with this you need to take painkiller and anti inflammatory drugs. As redness suggest inflammation. Anti histamine if you are having itch.
Surgery is needed only if you are not getting response by oral drugs.
So start the above mentioned treatment. Keep that part dry. If not improved in 5 days than you can think of surgery.
