Why is the small wound i had on my foot taking months to heal?

Walking: Walking on a wound will delay or prevent healing. You should see a podiatrist (foot doctor).

Not sure : You need to have circulation evaluated. Possibly a biopsy of lesion to make sure it is not a type of cancer. Remove all sources of pressure.
