Does this wound look like its healing? (photos)

Elsa727
Is the white around the edges of the wound mean its healing or something else? How long does it take to heal? I am 4 wks post op BL/BA. I had an open area when my stitches were taken out, which has gotten worse with spitting stitches. I am following up with my surgeon weekly.
