Pitch black dark skin patch with no sensations is definitely a dead patch of skin.
So it needs to go.
the resultant raw area after taking out tge dead patch needs to be covered for sure.
whethe a skin graft or something else your treating doctor would be able to advice depending upon the bone and other soft tissues extent of exposure.
