Hole on my tummy tuck line won't heal, what can I do? (photo)

Asked By:lisonamanda in Auburn, AL

I have a hole on my tummy tuck line that won't close. It will scab over but then the scab falls off and I'm back to square one again. I've also tried covering it with ointment and a bandage but it doesn't seem to get better. What should I do?
