Am I okay? How should I be looking after this wound? (Photos)

Kikiluv89
I started developing this 2 weeks ago (photo with lots of scabbing and white cheesy center) my dr just says to use soap and water to clean it and cover it with a gauze and it will get better. I’ve also been being seen at a wound care center where I have been told to apply Manuka honey in it for it to heal. My question is: about how long will this take to heal, and can I swim with this?? Thank u so much for the help.
