25 days TT post op, wound dehiscence. I'm second guessing my PS advice (photo)

Asked By:thereserose

I had a tt w/hernia repair/muscle separation repair. 2 weeks post op I noticed wound dehiscence, PS said to use soap/water 2x day. It healed shortly after however, I noticed the other hip had wound Dehiscence. PS said same thing but use antibiotic ointment with bandage. I just realized it got bigger. I’m second guessing my PS advice. He’s a reputable PS in Beverly Hills. Help me :( how can I advocate for myself. I don’t know if his advice is suitable.
