How Can An Infected Pimple On The Finger Be Treated?

My husband has an infection on his finger, it started as a little pimple and he squeezed it and picked at it. it got red swollen and hurt. He went to the dr. and was prescribed dicloxacillin 500 mg 3 times a day. it now looks purple almost black and he just hit it on something at work and he said pus came out... yuck. he has been on the anitbiotics for 4 days. what could this be?
