Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
He may have gaping of wound due to some poor healing as a result of some factors. Poor nutrition, diabetes, infection, constant irritation, raise intra abdominal pressure are some of the factors which causes delay in wound healing. He should go for examination. Need to search for any of this factors and take treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
