It might be worth going to a doctor about it. It sounds like it has got pretty bad for you - if it's hurting to prod at it. You could try at home though a hot compress perhaps after a bath containing baby oil to soften everything up a bit before attempting removal again(I would add a couple of drops of tea tree oil to the water as a natural antiseptic). I usually use a damp cotton pad (the kind you get for facial cleansing) folded so that there is a slightly "sharp" end to clean with.
