What do you do when your wound is not healing?

When you treat a wound, you normally expect that the temporary redness and swelling of the wound will reduce, a scab will form, and the wound will be healed withing a few weeks. When the redness and swelling don't go away and the wound has not begun to close or form a scab, your wound may have become complex/difficult. This requires a closer look at the conditions that may be preventing your wound from healing. 

People who develop complex/difficult wounds often have an underlying condition, such as:

• Poor circulation or blood flow.

• Disorders affecting their leg veins.

• Diabetes and diabetic-related conditions.

• Weakened immune system from disease and infection.

• Size and severity of their wound.

• Lying in bed or sitting for long periods of time due to lack of mobility.

Your doctor or healthcare provide may refer you to a qualified medical professional that specializes in complex/difficult wound care. As this specialist reviews your medical background and wound diagnosis, they may make recommendations regarding wound cleaning and wound healing options that make sense for you. They may also discuss options with your about treating your complex/difficult wound in your own home or in a medical facility.
