Okay, here's my view on this wound.
If you look at the condition of the exposed tissue, it appears to be suffering from what is known to medicine as 'Proud flesh'. Proud flesh is an overgrowth of Granulation tissue, the kind of tissue which helps heal wounds, and usually develops from wounds where there is excessive tension, torsion or motion that prevents the tissue from sealing the cut. This means that while the wound itself may have just spontaneously developed, possibly as a tiny cut, Chris's refusal to get even the most harmless of injuries treated has led to this.
I sincerely hope that Chris makes it to the doctor. This wound, given its size and proximity to some of the most unhygienic areas of the body, means that Chris is at a serious risk of contracting gangrene or septic shock if that cut gets infected.
