This is a rare complication of a minimally invasive test (biopsy, injection, aspiration, etc.). You should notify your doctor of the infection, and probably go back in to have the infection evaluated. Because the break in your skin is known to extend to an organ or structure deep below, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to clear it up before the infection can track the whole way down.
