Suggest Remedy For Pus Filled Boil On Index Finger

My 9 year old son has been exposed to MRSA. His dad has had several boils on his finger and other places that has been diagnosed as MRSA. My son now has a bump with white puss on his index finger. I drained it and now it seems redder and is getting harder. We put Neosporin and band aid last night. A while ago we put a little boil ease on it. Any other suggestions? Should I be worried? Thank you!
