Is this granulating skin? (Photo)

Lucia76
I've been using aquacel dressings for this wound, but I was wondering if there's anything else that's thicker and provides a moist environment conducive for healing. It seems like I have to remove everyday because it gets soaked. I want something I can leave longer so I don't disrupt the wound. I don't see progress and I'm scared that the wound will widen. Can you tell me what you think of this wound??
