depends where it is if brain---confusion or stroke if leg---usually red area thats hot to touch and it hurts to straighten leg out, Calf very sore and hurts worse if you straighten leg and push down on knee cap if any where else usually hot area and, tingling of area, pain at area, Lungs---usually hard to breathe and pain with breathing also confusion cos you body isnt getting oxygen

sounds like a infected hair follicle. Apply hot facecloth soaked in epsom salts and hot water. If it comes to a head dont pinch it, it'll go back under , just pull away from it. Like pull the skin around it to bring it out. The keep with hot compresses till cleared up.
