Looks like incision is opening. What can I do to help keep it from getting larger? (Photo)

Asked By:slypig2006

The bottom incision of my "anchor" wound close to my sternum (for orientation purposes) is open and linear. No foul odor or pain. I can see white inside the wound. I've been keeping it very clean and dry. Any suggestions?
