Brief Answer:
Seems to be pyoderma, apply topical antibiotic

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
It could be pyoderma which is infection of the skin. I would recommend you to apply a topical antibiotic like neosporin ointment on the affected area twice daily for 5-7 days. If it doesn't show improvement in a week's time consult a doctor and get it examined.
