Tummy tuck incision opening, white inside! HELP (photos)

Mommyof3needsTT
This started about 2 weeks ago and looks bigger each day. My doctor doesnt seem concerwd and has me cleaning the area twice a day, pat dry, apply neosporin and cover with gauze. He said as long as I have no fever/chills, to not worry. Its hard not to worry, especially when I google these horrible images and the thought of a wound vac gives me a heart attack. He says it will get worse before better..Does this look like it will heal normal? How long can I expect the process? What would you suggest
