Doctor said it’s infected and coming open but it looks a little more open than when he saw it on Friday. Anybody else’s scar look like this?

Yep mine did, dr gave me cream for it to use 2-3 times a day plus the usual cleaning and drying healed properly within a couple of weeks now it's nicely healed can hardly see it (6 months pp)

Mine had the little gaps too - and I was told it was normal, do you have antibiotics for the infection?

Either way, if you feel like it's getting worse, there is no harm in seeing the doctor again, peace of mind is important.

Mine looked like this, and it had a hole the size of 5p at one end, took almost 2 months to close up and heal. Was very nervewracking, but you just have to be patient, clean, dry, apply cream they give you. Go back in if it looks worse, but it doesn't look too bad to me. I was all over MN with mine 18 months ago!
