Breast Reduction/lift but open areas underneath breast not healing (Photo)

lisa austin
I will be 4 weeks post op on Feb 6, 2017. PS initially told me to put Vaseline on my breasts. Certain spots underneath my breasts are open, bleeding, painful and don't appear to be healing. I last saw PS 3 days ago and he told me to stop the Vaseline, use saline or water and put gauze on it. My concern is when I do this and take the gauze off it has blood and yellowish/greenish mucus. PS put me on an antibiotic "Ciprofloxacin HCL" which I've taken for 3 days. What should I do?
