If it is red, swollen, has drainage, see your Doc as soon as possible. As for healing that will depend on wheter the site is infected or not. But until you see the Doc use an antibotic cream on the site.

it will prob itch. and be red all the time. hope that helped.

red, pain near the size, oozing- getit checked out- better safe than sorry

if it's still swollen and red, and there's pus, then it's infected. use polysporin with antibiotics. if it gets worse, see a doctor. and stop touching it.

go to a doctor. Usually it is red itchy and sometimes you scratch it so much it bleeds. If you are too concerned go to a doctor and he will give you a helpful cream..

It will have puss coming out of it. Here are some pics:
