Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for the query.

This looks like a staph or strep infection of the skin.

I would recommend you see your local doctor who may prescribe a topical antibiotic and possibly an oral antibiotic as well to eliminate the infection and any discomfort associated with it.

Thank you again for sending the query,

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga

Detailed Answer:
You could consider using some topical antibiotic ointment such as Bacitracin which can be obtained over the counter at your pharmacy.

I would try to see your doctor though within the next day.
