Why Does Skin Turn Purple?

My daughter has a staph infection spot on her cheek. (She has a similar one last year). The doctor prescribed antibiotics last thursday. Now her cheek is no longer painful and the pus at the head of the pimple has subsided, but the surrounding skin is now a hard dark purple circular nodule and the skin immediately surrounding the purple circle is also hard.
