Not heeling

I have 2 pustules that have burst about a week ago but they have not heeled.  They are approximately 2-3 weeks old.  Should I see a MD?

Yes, it is very possible that you could develop an infection.  You should go back to see what is going on.  He made need to pack these areas with medicated strips to induce healing.

There are a lot of "missing pieces" to your post, but in general, non-healing injuries should be evaluated by a physician.
