If its bacterial and in any way deep, my advice is to pack it with salt, and put a lightly wound bandage on it (one wrap of gauze would be fine) to control the leakage, but otherwise let it air out. The salt will kill any bacteria in there and some of the surrounding damaged tissue, and by the time its mostly removed from drainage, interior regrowth should be well underway. It hurts, but it'll do you more good than most of the awful medicine around now, and it won't leave any resistant bacteria. I walked around in Maine for two weeks with a bolt hole in my right calf, treated it like that, and it healed fine.
