That's looks like a local skin infection, nothing to worry. Local application of antibacterial ointment like suggested (Mupirocin) twice or thrice a day and keeping that area dry and clear would suffice.
Next Steps
Local antibacterial ointment application
Health Tips
Keep an eye if there's any worsening of the infection - spreading, pus discharge, increased redness, excessive pain, fever etc..
