Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having chronic osteomyelitis giving trouble since long.
Now it seems that there is formation of sequestrum protruding through wound.
Do not take it easy and consult orthopedic surgeon and some vigorous treatment and some surgical procedure requires.
Simple dressing is not going to help.
Ok and take care.
