Deep open wounds: Deep open wounds are areas that have fat, muscle, tendon, bone, or neurovascular structures exposed. If you have any of these you need follow-up with a surgeon. Especially, if you are immunocompromised (have diabetes, smoking history, cancer, steroid use, a transplant, hiv, etc) you are at higher risk of infection.
