Why does my skin take so long to heal on my foot?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Several reasons: If you have a wound that is taking too long to heal you should have a physician check it out. Age, health conditions, vascular status, nutritional status all play a role in the healing of wounds.

Foot healing: Often slower healing is seen on the feet due to weight bearing and poorer circulation.
