TT Incision has been Infected for Two Weeks, the Hibiclens / Silver Sulfa is not Helping, What Should I Do? (photo)

I am a 30YO women who had a full tummy tuck (tubeless) & breast aug 4 weeks ago. I noticed leakage (yellow/green) from a spot on the tummy incision (breasts look fine) about 2 weeks ago which soon spread to about 4 areas. (No fluid build-up on ultrasound). My PS instructed me to shower and clean the wound with Hibiclens twice daily; apply Silver Sulfa 1% cream & cover w/ non-stick pads; and take 500mg of Cipro twice daily. It has been 2 weeks with no improvement; should I be concerned?
