It itched very bad and had a small hole in the center. It eventually turned purple & now its like a very thick black scab and still itches!! What is it & what can i do about it?

Hello,
Dermatologic conditions are difficult without seeing them. It could be herpes, just an abrasion, even syphillis.
Obviously, treatments would be different. Going into a dermatologist while it is there would be best. Localized care like a neosporin works on some things and rarely makes things worse.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman
