It looks like the sutures did not hold the upper portion together well and has left a triangular indenture. My current routine is to clean 2-3x daily and keeping the area moist with a thin layer of Aquaphor to prevent scabbing in hopes that this will allow the wound to granulate and fill back in. Is this what I should be doing? What else can I do? Does it look like this wound will continue to build up or has it stalled? Is there anything the doctor can do to improve the healing?
