Wound Care
In general, if your wound has not started to heal after 2 weeks, or has not healed completely within 6 weeks, then you should consider visiting a wound care specialist.
Why would I need to see a Wound Care Specialist?
Conditions that may make it harder for your wound to heal:
Diabetes
Congestive
Heart Failure
Vascular Disease
Incontinence
Severe Obesity
Renal Failure
Nerve Damage
Certain lifestyle issues may also prevent wound healing. For instance, a poor diet, excessive alcohol intake, smoking, and being inactive may also impede your recovery from a wound.
