What is causing this hole on my incision line? (Photo)

September 7, 2015
Asked By:jredstone77 in Bakersfield, CA

It started out small and has grown. I don't feel like it's infected and it doesn't hurt. It developed a week or so ago. My dr told me to put tape on it until he can see me and the black is just tape residue. Any ideas on what it is? My surgery was about 5 weeks ago. The first was taken a week before the second.
