what kind of skin condition/infection is this? . yesterday an apparent skin infection on my check had swollen half of my face and made it extremely sensitive and sore. i seemed to have brought it down with ibuprofen and ice but the size of the actual bump has not diminished and still hurts. the bump itself looks like a raised inflamed elliptical area slightly over one inch long. the area feels mostly hard underneath while the skin above it feels very dry. what would cause this and should i see a doctor?
