Is Antibiotic Needed If Staph Infection Turned Red To Purple?

my staph infection has turned from red to purple. The inflamation has gone down and its in a smaller more concentrated area. It started 6 days ago. I have drained it and been applying triple antibiotic to the area. I have not been taking antibiotics. Do i need antibiotics if it seems to be getting better?
