HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Most open lesions would close on their own once the infection resolves.
If it was a collection of pus, an abscess, then you may need to have the area assessed by your doctor.
An abscess normally requires incision and drainage to remove any residues of remaining pus.
Antibiotics may also be needed as well.
I hope this helps
