1 month post BR, open wound under breast. How long will this take to heal? Does it look infected? (photos)

Citygirl17
I had a breast reduction about a month ago. A few days ago I removed my gauze and it removed the scab and now I have this open wound and it’s making me really depressed every time I look at it. How long will this take to heal? I have no signs of infection, does it look infected ? What should I do ? I had the surgery out of the state so I have no one to help m right now. I’m putting Neosporin and come covering it. Will Manuka Honey help it close faster?
