TW: open wound / graphic image

I had a c section 4 weeks ago and got antibiotics for an infection last week. The incision has an opening (although I went to triage today and they said it's no longer infected). Just wondering if anyone had an opening like this and how long it took to close? It's really freaking me out knowing that it's open 😭

Hey. Hope you are ok. Mine re-opened with DC1 and I went back and they put in a couple of stitches in for me (literally just 2/3) and then it was fine after that.
