Raised Bumps On The Fingers And Knuckles. Pus Formation. Need To Be Concerned?

I am getting raised pimples on the back of my fingers near the knuckles. They apart as red areas then develop a small whitehead. When I squeeze the puss out it leaves a volcano looking raised area, from which i am able to squeeze out clear fluid,but the area heals in a few days. I am working on a construction sight which is an older building with a lot of dirt and dust. Do I need to be concerned about these?

Treatment with antibacterials is needed, else it will become a chronic condition.
