Delayed wound healing: big hole. Will I stay having a big hole? (Photos)

ll167h
Again, I'm freaking out because it's such a big hole. pS said it's fine, it'll heal. Gavw mw proper instructions for wound care at home, twice a day with peroxide, then Spray with microdacyn (I believe it's that name). I was also instructed to loosen my girdle to let blood flow & sometimes take it off to sleep to keep promitong blood flow to my pubic area. I also wash with neutral soap and water everyday and change gauze three-four times daily. Will I have a hole there forever?
