Given the risk of atypical infections, telemedicine consultation should be sought if the wound worsens.

 

Chronic Nonhealing Wounds

If a wound has not healed by 2 weeks, it is likely the result of underlying infection (consider osteomyelitis as a potential cause), inadequate tissue perfusion, or inadequate nutrition.18 Often it is multifactorial and so more than one source needs to be addressed.

Consider telemedicine consultation if the wound is not healing.
