It's always better to keep it clean and closed with a dressing done by a doctor. Keeping open is fine if you will wash wound and apply ointment regularly and make sure no dust or flies come on the wound. Also the ointment applied previous day is washed off before applying a fresh layer. But surgical dressing is the best for hygiene and reducing pain.
