Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
Squeezing and picking the scab is never a good idea. Seems that you have pushed the infection deeper.
If I was the treating doctor I would have started you on oral antibiotics for a week (e,g penicillin group of oral antibiotics. My choice would have been Amoxycillin).
An OTC topical antibacterial e.g 2% mupirocin can be applied at the site twice daily to help resolve the infection faster.
