Does this wound look like its healing? (photos)

October 30, 2014
Asked By:Elsa727 in Omaha, NE

Is the white around the edges of the wound mean its healing or something else? How long does it take to heal? I am 4 wks post op BL/BA. I had an open area when my stitches were taken out, which has gotten worse with spitting stitches. I am following up with my surgeon weekly.
