Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your case history of a black hole on the leg. My treatment advice is :
1. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
2. Apply a placentrex gel twice daily on it.
3. Take an NSAID (Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like ibuprofen for pain.
If the problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
