When something becomes inflamed it turns red, swollen, hot, and painful. These signs mean that white blood cells are trying to get rid of harmful invaders in the body. You can think of it as a response to infection. This increases blood flow to the affected area, causing redness and warmth. While it can be painful, it is not always painful. If an exterior wound looks inflamed you should seek immediate treatment. Wounds act as a doorway to infection as it allows foreign invaders into areas they would not otherwise have access to.</span></span></div>
