A member asked:

Hi how do you treat a sore on your skull (head) developed in hospital and still not healed after six months?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sore that won't heal: What are the warning skin cancer? Sores that will not heal. Sores that grow bigger or turn into tumours. Sores or tumours in or around the orifices should be watched carefully as these can behave aggressively. See your dermatologist for a skin biopsy.
