A member asked:

Is it a good idea to go to a dermatologist for wound healing help?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Wound treatment is an entirely different speciality of surgery. Dermatology is for skin conditions only

Definitely, specifically non healing wounds should be assessed by a dermatologist. Another good option would be a wound specialist in making sure the wound is properly treated.
