I have had it for less than a week and the redness hasn't gone away neither has the pain. The pain has gone down a bit but the redness seems to stay and the crusty part looks an odd color. I've cleaned it twice a day but that doesn't seem to help. I am thinking of cleaning it three or more times a day just to make sure. But what do u do if it is and u have no money or insurance for a doctor? Please someone help me out here
