Body didn't accept post cyst sutures
Hi, got 2 sebaceous cyst removed on my back through an operation. Out of the 2 one was a bit infected and the body did not accept the sutures done on that location. The other one has healed well.
The Dr. has removed the sutures and have mentioned it will heal by secondary healing. I am a bit worried as the area seems like a hole. I am getting my dressing done every 2 days and do not have much pain throughout the day. A bit of pain only while dressing.
How long does open wounds like these take to heal? Should I take a 2nd opinion?

Usually wounds that get infected are laid open to heal. Usually takes 15-20 days to heal with proper care and dressings. Can wait up to 20 days if there is no redness or discharge from the wound. Should be better
