Brief Answer:
Treatment with antibiotics needed

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. I have checked the attached image. The situation is indeed concerning and calls for urgent medical attention. An infection with gram positive organisms is likely and needs to be treated with topical antibiotics like mupirocin as well as systemic antibiotics like gentamicin or clarithromymicin.
