A member asked:
What to do if i got worse. what i want to know is if i get a skin graft over the open wounds is there a possibility they might heal?

Yes: Skin grafts are used to help open wounds heal but it depends on the type of wound and location of the wound. There are some areas that are not good places to put skin grafts. I recommend you see a wound specialist for evaluation and treatment.
