I would call your primary care doctor and firmly request that you'd like a referral to a specialist, the risk is much less at a specialist office and that's where the hospital is going to send you anyway after they get their money. In the unlikely event I go see a doctor, I refuse to go to my primary so they can say, "yep, you do need a specialist." I demand to have a referral faxed to whatever doctor I need, sometimes they'll even waive the referral if you contact directly or request the referral from your doctor themselves.
If the pain is cause for concern, I'd just go to the hospital and keep a safe distance from people and don't touch your face.
