Non Healing Wounds

A non-healing wound is a wound that doesn’t heal within 5-8 weeks, even though you’ve been following your doctor’s instructions to take care of it. This can be very serious, because it can become infected and lead to an illness or even the loss of a limb. A non-healing wound sometimes is called a chronic wound. There are many different types of non-healing wounds, but the most common is an ulcer.

Non-healing wound treatments
