How To Heal An Open Cystic Spot Wound?

I have had 3 pilonidal cysts previously, one lanced and packed by a doctor. The last one burst on its own and leaked a foul-smelling discharge for quite some time (wore panty liners). There seems to be an indentation or hole and there is odor, clear discharge and itching. What can I do?
