Time to see doc : Seeing your GP will be justified to get recommendations regarding non healing wound. Infections are notorious in delaying wound healing and among other possibilities.

Bacterial : if your wound is not healing could be that there is too high a bacterial count in the wound inhibiting healing. Also if not proper wound care may not be a healthy environment for healing
