Seek follow up: Wound care will be critical. Blood glucose control will help.

See wound specialist: I need more information, is this a surgical site wound or a preexisting wound? If it is a surgical site you need to also follow up with the surgeon too. If preexisting see a wound specialist. Be sure your sugars are well controlled also.
