How can I remove this belly button scar?

Aliii
I got my belly button repierced last May and everything was fine up until like a week ago. A small bump like a pimple formed near it. And I picked it and used some apple cider vinegar because I thought it was a ringworm, it was starting to look like one, in my opinion. I went to the doctor and she told me it wasn't (but she wasn't sure of what it was) It healed a bit and became a scab and I accidentally scratched the scab off and now it looks like a deep open crater-like wound. How do i fix this
