Your "cysts" are entirely possibly hematomas from ripped blood vessels. They should eventually reabsorb as the body heals and processes everything. Are you seeing any skin regrowth back towards the nub yet in any way? She looks FANTASTIC from that previous picture. The wound itself will be the concerning point. I know a few others have had birds survive amputations traumatic or planned but I have no idea how the healing process presented. People are of course different than chickens and you definitely lack a sterile OR to do things in a manner I am used to. Take that all into consideration.
Betadine is a superficial antiseptic but we did use it for wound soak/washout in ER. Chlorhexidine is also for superficial antisepsis but not so much for internal-"paint" surrounding tissue to keep pathogen count down and reduce migration to the wounds. I believe blue kote is for superficial wounds but if it fits from a past similar experience and worked, use the hell out of it.
From my standpoint on the wound washout, if there is no organ involvement, and even just deep wounds/tears go with a sterile water/hydrogen peroxide/betadine mix around 50/25/25% when mixing. Debride vigorously and thoroughly with spray bottle or syringe and then keep sealed and covered in the fantastic manner you have done thus far. Seal anything with a triple antibiotic ointment to form a petroleum barrier (no lidocaine though) or even sterile honey if you can find it (others have used it with success and we use it for wound care in the hospital too!)
Many other ways and recommendations to do it but the peroxide will help "fizzle" out any lurking contaminents, the diluted betadine will help with continued antiseptic protection but the reduced concentration. Only problem with peroxide is it does slow down tissue healing which is why it is not used for wound care beyond debriding purposes any longer (in people). But if its what you have, use it.

Also, she has a sibling who has twice as many feathers and face-skin as she does, I'm fairly sure she's a girl, no crows from him yet tho
