Are small holes in my tummy tuck scar normal? (Photo)

new_me_2015
I am 6 weeks post op and thought i was healling fine till now. I had some scabs in certain places on my scar and now that the scabs are coming off i am left with a small hole where the scab was. The holes are small and they do not hurt but you can see like yellow skin inside. Is this normal? What wound care should I use? And will my scar heal evenly in those places? My surgeon is from out of state so i cant see him personally. Thank you in advance!
