Dear Krista,

Your condition very much sounds like cellulitis which is pus formation (infection) after such skin injuries. If you could have started antibiotics just after the injury, it wouldn't have resulted into aggravation of the present condition.

Now there could be two options-

1) If the site is more tender and swelled due to pus formation, you need to consult a Surgeon to get it incised and drained with just few minutes of procedure. After that your doctor would like to prescribe antibiotics and pain-killers (with healing agents).

2) If skin can not be incised your doctor would like to prescribe you some antibiotics in order to treat infection and anti-inflammations medicines to heal it.

Also, it is important to get your a clinical evaluation, blood investigations done that helps you to rule out any underlying disorders like diabetes or anemia that delays healing.

I sincerely hope this helps.
