I have been reluctant to post this, hoping it would heal on it's own. The scar has not closed over due to the stitches coming out the surgical site. The Dr opened it up and pulled some of the stitches out, and squeezed the open wound. Hurt like h.... Now it keeps swelling and opening up. I hope the site does not get infected again. It should have healed by now. Any positive feedback will be appreciated.

Hi Condor,
I am sorry to hear you haven't healed yet. Was the wound cultured for infection to determine specific antibiotic need? If the wound was left open has someone in your family been trained to care for it and do the dressing changes for you? A wound care consult could be ordered if it doesn't start to progress. Some meds can interfere with healing and of course nutrition is important. I hope you heal up soon!

That seems like an awful long time to heal. I can't really offer any advice, but I do hope that something can be done to help the scar close up on its own.
I just wanted to send some healing thoughts and gentle hugs your way.

Speaking from personal experience with my husband's multiple wounds, good nutrition and lots of extra protein is needed when trying to heal wounds.

The scar has finally closed. It has taken awhile, but I think it is healed. Knowing that I will have to deal with it again kind of scares me. I appreciate the kind responses, and hope you do not have to deal with skin cancer. My days in the sun are over, but I can live with it. Thanks again for the support.
