It's coffee o'clock!
Hmmm, I might be inclined to use AluShield on a wound like this in addition to other products. It's an aerosol bandage that puts a protective silver coating over wounds without drying as much as BluKote does. It will keep out dirt while still allowing it to breathe and it can be applied over a fine layer of neosporin or moisturizing ointment.
You should be able to find it at farm supply places and maybe bigger walmarts in the pet section. If you find the silver doesn't prevent picking, though it should, you could lay down a good coat of AluShield, wait for it to dry and set, then give it a lighter "cover" spray with Blu-Kote for the color. The AluShield will help the healing and keep the Blu-kote on the surface and the purple color should (should) reduce self picking.
AluShield has terrific staying power and I started using it after my vet introduced it to me.
