My dog's wart scab fell off, leaving an open wound. How to care?

Question

My dog had a small wart burned off by vet a week ago. The scab fell off and now he has a dime sized open wound. How can I care for this? Or should I just leave it alone and observe? Thanks! Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | 12 lbs

I would recommend just leaving this alone and making sure he is not able to lick this area. It does not appear infected to me based on the photo, however if you are noticing redness or swelling around the wound or if there is discharge you should see a veterinarian. I would definitely recommend checking in with your veterinarian when they are open to make sure there is nothing else they would recommend for Reese.
