Does this look normal for an open wound healing? (Photos)

At week two post op for my BR, the vertical incisions started opening. The PS prescribed Silvadene treatment twice a day and keeping the areas covered. Things look like they are improving slowly. My concern is the yellowish looking areas. Is this normal? The dark area on my right breast is not necrosis but what is left of the scab that had started to form prior to starting the Silvadene treatment. Also I'm having a slight stinging sensation at the bottom of the wound on the right side
