Pilonidal Scar Split/tear

Question

I had a surgery for pilonidal sinus a few months ago and all of a sudden my scar split. I met my surgeon yesterday for a check up and he said it's normal and should heal on it's own but I have to give it sometime. Can you guys please advice me on what sort of medication or ointment might help me treat this tear? Thank you!
