Hi I did review your concern,
It appears that you probably had herpetic whitlow that has been complicated by superseded bacterial infection.
I would recommend visiting nearest doctor or ER and getting the lesion evaluated for signs of purulent infection and starting antibiotics for bacterial infection in addition to antiviral treatment.
I hope this helps
wish you all the best
