It sounds like Kona's skin had a reaction to the cuticle lotion, and the things you are putting on it are not working. Given that the sore has been there for two weeks with no sign of healing, I would take Kona into the vet today or tomorrow for an exam. The vet can clean it, and can prescribe medication to help it heal.
