I'm a former vet tech, and I agree with leaving this open to the air and using betadine & antibiotic ointments. I'd cleanse it at least daily with a spray, no wiping it.
That's pretty much all a vet would do. Leaving it open to air allows it to dry out and form a scab, whereas bandaging allows a warm, wet area to become infected.
It looks really horrible, but it's not much worse than a scabbed knee. It's going to dry out, scab over, scab will come off once the new skin granulates, the feathers will likely never come back, but it's not at all fatal unless infection sets in.
