Which type of doctor should i see for a wound that won't heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wound care : There are docs who take special interest in wounds (i am one), wound care specialists and wound care centers. Okay to ask your current doc for a referral. Often the basic issues are cleaning the wound (wash and rinse then hairdryer wound) and infection, lack of blood flow, malnutrition and swelling. Once the factors are controlled, the wounds usually heal.
