Is this necrosis, stitch abscess, or wound dehiscence? (photos)

mamamia85
Does this look like necrosis, stitch abscess, or wound dehiscence? I am worried something is wrong. I am 4 weeks post op. At my 2 week checkup, PS said it was peeling from where the implant rubbed and to use antibiotic ointment 2x daily. I have done that but it looks like it is getting worse. I had HP smooth silicone, 425cc, unders.
