Brief Answer:
I will say get wound care. This looks like a zoonotic infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the images.

I have reviewed these images. This is suggestive of an infection from a home animal. If you child plays with pets at home or has come in contact with pets, this might be the case. I will like to see this would managed appropriately. Consult your pediatrician and probably get antibiotics in addition to make sure we are safe.

I hope this helps. Let me know what your thoughts are and what you intend doing at this time given this information.
