This has happened to me several times and doctors do not like to re-stitch a wound especially if there is infection in there because it just seals the bugs in and makes healing impossible.. Usually they will pack the wound with things like inadine packs or special medical packing materials sometimes with silver in them to attack the infection too, then they dress it and will leave it to heal over time with regular dressing changes with a nurse, it takes time to heal and it does leave a scar but it seems to be the more sensible option.
Have you not got a follow up appointment to see anyone?
