Swelling and inflammation can be most probably due to burning of the skin. Both the symptoms of redness and swelling are due to burning. If there is pus discharge, increasing pain etc. then it can be due to infection. You should once consult an Emergency room or a physician and get evaluated, and a thorough clinical examination can be done. For now do cool compresses over it. Apply Silvered ointment over burnt area. Hope I have answered your query. Please let me know if I can assist you further. Regards.  </s>
