A Hole in Incision at 5 Weeks Po Tt?

pa1212
I woke up with a hole in my incision. Its freaking me out n giving me a lot more chills just thinking about hole. I hate it. I cant get my mind off . It drained yellow pus or something. It got bigger in evening than it was in morning.Nurse prescribed sdd 1% twice a day. I dont see how the skin will reconnect or seal the hole. How long does it take the hole to heal up? I m afraid its gonna be a lot bigger in am.
