How bad will necrosis this get before it gets better? (photo)

josey12345
I had surgery 3 1/2 weeks ago. I had a infection but that is currently getting better. I am now questioning how bad the Necrosis will get? Does it look like I will lose more dead skin. Also when black scab falls of will that be raw skin? Still draining not sure how long that will last. Thanks
