Leave it alone: You can leave it alone as it will not cause any complication, do not try to pick on it, eventually it will fall off.

Should have healed.: This could represent a non-resolving herpes infection that may require oral suppressive treatment., e.G Valtrex (valacyclovir) it may also represent something else, in either case it needs evaluation by a dermatologist.
