Newly Diagnosed with LS - Questions

I had a biopsy 1 week ago and sure enough it is LS. I have a minor case, white peri area only. No itching, just slight pain and skin splitting. I had a biopsy just to the side of peri and doctor left the area open. A week later and still a open hole. I'm freaking out if this will ever heal. I'm using Vaseline and showering daily, but I feel each day there is no change. Anyone else have an open biopsy site?

    Day 15 after biopsy and it's beginning to heal! I can see new skin beginning to fill the site. I've been cleaning with warm water only. I ordered some hydromol to try...hasn't arrived just yet. The clobetasol is going well....still several weeks to go with daily applications. I'm not so freaked out now and think I can do this!
