Hi,
Thank you for choosing Healthcaremagic. Small incision gaping can heal by itself, just keep your incision site clean and dry. You can also use antibiotic powder for local application. If the discharge is more, then it had to be drained and require regular dressing.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow-ups. If you like my answers kindly rate it, and write a review as well. Please do not forget to accept it.
Thank you,
Wish you good health.
Regards,
Dr Arif
