How To Treat An Open Incision Caused After A Bardport Removal?

I had a Bard port removed yesterday. This was the second to go wrong. Now it feel like burning and sharp nerve like pain. I had to peak a while ago and the whole incision is open again. I saw the end suture but about two inches are deeply open. What do I do now?
