This happened to me before years ago on my leg and the doctor suggested a whirlpool bath with Epsom salt. The hole in my leg which was causing me a great deal of pain eventually closed in 2-3 days. The black scar still remained but I have been using a homemade mix of tea tree oil, cocoa and shea butters which have returned the skin back to normal some what.
Most recently I developed a painful boil on my butt which burst and bled. Because of the trauma of sitting on the wound it made a hole a few centimeters deep. I cleaned the wound, removing yellowish/grayish puss with a sterile gauze dipped in iodine. I sprayed an antibacterial antiseptic spray and covered the wound with a gauze with neosporin for one day changing the bandages regularly. Once the wound no longer bled profusely about 2 days in, I filled a tub with very warm water with about a 1/2 cup Epsom salt and soaked for 20 min to start the healing process and close the hole on my butt cheek. I started soaking 2-3 times per day on a Friday and by Monday the wound had scabbed over. I put my homemade ointment of tea tree oil and Shea butters to fight discoloration and was bandage free by Wednesday.
