thigh lift groin incisions(kinda graphic...sorry)
Keep your head up girl and spirits high, this is a great tool in healing. 
I remember when I first came home from my gastric bypass in 2005 and one of my incisions from the laser surgery had opened up and got infected. It was horrible and smelled horrible and was saying to myself "are you crazy or stupid" all the while screaming
cause my Dr. touched and then proceeded to milk it to get the yuck out, and pack it all at once with out any warning or pain meds. (I hated him for one quick minute lol). But after the cut healed and I had lost 20lbs in less than 2 weeks, I was like I would do it all over again.
I say that to say this sometimes it has to get bad in order for it to get good. So don't despair, 6 months from now when you are wearing midriff shirts you won't even remember this. So don't lock out your friends and family, you're going to need your support/cheer-leading team
to help past the time and let you focus on the good; which will uplift your spirits and speed up your healthy recovery.
It will get better,

I had some of my incisions pop open on my inner thigh, close to my groin area and my doctor just said to keep it dry by keeping clean gauze on it, and use silvadene (it's a cream that is supposed to increase skin healing...it's what they give to burn victims to help heal wounds faster. it is a prescription cream.) And try not to move! It took a long time for mine to heal shut, but eventually my incisions did heal from the inside out. Just keep it clean and dry and use the silvadene at night. The antibiotics will help too.
Hope things get better for you soon! keep us updated :) I know it's hard to believe it will get better, but you have to think positive!

The only thing that stands between you and what you want from life is simply the will to pursue it and the faith to believe it is possible.
