Open sore: Any prolonged non-healing or recurrent open sore of the skin needs to be professionally evaluated. Skin cancer is a common cause of this sort of problem. You should be seen ASAP if it is highly painful, if there is spreading redness or tenderness around it, or if you have fever. Otherwise, it should be safe to wait a week.
