A member asked:
I have mrsa on a little wound. i am 30 days on two antibiotics, but the wound has not closed or scabbed yet. should i have it checked again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : Most wounds will heal in 2-4 weeks but if not healed and MRSA was documented, that could be problematic. The wound needs to be re-evaluated.
