Hard-to-Heal Wounds
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
It is advisable to seek guidance when a wound shows no signs of improvement after several weeks, since this may indicate an underlying problem in the healing process. Hard-to-heal wounds are skin lesions that take longer than expected to close or that reopen frequently.
Common causes: They can be related to circulation problems, continuous pressure on an area, infections, or some chronic diseases that slow down tissue repair.
Warning signs: Increasing redness, foul odor, discharge, or increased pain around the wound.
Which specialist treats it? Depending on its origin, the orthopedist may intervene when the wound is associated with bone or limb injuries. If a lesion does not close as it should, requesting a professional evaluation prevents more serious complications.
