Hi dear ,
As per your query you have wound which is in healing stage . Well if doctor told you to leave the wound open then leave it open because it can help it become dry and heal quickly . I would suggest you to keep it clean , do not touch it with your hands and start taking vitamin C for quick healing of wound .If it doesn't get healed in few days or get worse then again consult doctor . Doctor will clean it with hydrogen peroxude and prescribe further antibiotic course .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
