I still think you should see a doctor. Fat areas react to infection slightly differently than other places.

I would keep it covered, and clean, and use the Neosporin. The old "let it dry out" is no longer valid. All wounds now in hospitals and long term care settings are carefully dressed. Keeping the area covered, encourages the healing cells to grow faster. Studies have shown this.
