Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
This is not serious thing unless it spreads outside the skin and this rarely happens. He should finish antibiotic course and see will condition improve in next 2 weeks. Also, antibiotics can be changed if there is no relief.

Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
