Suggest Remedy For Hole In Skin After Skin Boil Healed

I had a skin boil it healed and formed a carbuncle it was agitated and turned into a boil again , it healed slowly for almost 8 months. Now there s no bump whatsoever but I have a small hole on my skin, and kinda worried that it might get re-infected if doesn t close properly. I would still try to squeeze it and nothing comes out , but one time a small amount of white stuff came out - after that no blood nothing. I guess my concern is, should I let the skin heal by itself? If yes how? Or can I apply something to speed up the process and not run the risk of irritating and re-infecting? Can I use liquid band aid?
