It's most probably a post surgical wound infection. It can happen to anyone.. Even if done by the best surgeon. Every surgeon takes full precaution so that it doesn't happen. Once the infection subsides it needs to be sutured.. Its called secondary suturing

It is a common problem post operation, it depends on patient and type of operation ,
Regular dressing will slowly close the suture line what ur dr is doing is right ,
Alternative option is to re-suture ur open wound if it is not infected or if it is a big opening.
In this situation u need to be little patient ur wound will definitely close with regular dressing also
No need to change ur dr
