I recently had foot surgery 11/1/14 incision opened in one area doesn't seem to be healing too quickly ?

See your surgeon for: an examination. He might need to take a swab to ensure, what if any infection is responsible for the delayed healing. It might be a deep suture that got infected. I recommend all my patients to report any healing problems to my office and my nurses to do all the dressing changes, to ensure proper healing. Good luck and Happy Holidays.
