Spitting stitches and open wounds? Will be three weeks post op Monday. (Photos)

Surgeon said leave alone. I have six spit stitches from closed incisions that have opened and the large one never closed and a stitch surfaced. He said there’s no infection but there’s pain inside. I’m using medical grade manuka over it once per day after cleaning with sterile tools and applying gauze but what’s happening?! I’m mortified!!!
