Good morning, ma'am,

When did you first notice this?
Has the redness, swelling or pain increased?
Have you applied anything?

Thank you for your help!

Thanks for the feedback!

Just keep the area clean with soap and water, I suggest applying a fragrance-free moisturizer as often as desired, and ice for 15 minutes at a time if there is pain. Avoid scratching to slow down the healing process.
