8 weeks post-op BA, dealing with holes in incision. What can I do to heal this? (Photo)

Asked By:tiffanyB702 in Henderson, NV

Last Thursday night I checked my incision, I noticed a hole. My PS got me in the next morning and I was put on 2 antibiotics & bactroban ointment. It started looking better. Well today I have noticed the hole is getting bigger again and has a second hole next to it. I contacted my PS office again and I'm being told it is probably a spitting suture. Does anyone know by these pictures if that is what is going on? Is there anything else I can do besides what I am doing to heal this? I do have pus
