Should I be concerned about this opening by my areola? (Photo)

Asked By:crimsongurl3 in New Orleans, LA

I am 4 weeks PO and my surgeon has seen me weekly. As of last week I still had a floating scab on it. Now it’s open with white flesh looking stuff and I can see the stitch at the top. I emailed him a picture yesterday and he assured me it was fine. I’m supposed to use neosporin twice a day on it and just wait for it to close. This seems like it’ll never close.
