Accidental Flesh wound
Hi
I met with an accident on 9th August. Got injured in both legs and hands. Most of the wounds were on skin and almost healed. But one specific wound in the left leg adjacent to the knee is not healing. It was a deep flesh wound. I am kind of afraid about it not healing. It's been two weeks. What should I do?
I am dressing the wound everyday with betadine solution. Previously was using betadine ointment and bandage. But for the last two days using soframycin cream and keeping it open. Please suggest what should I do!

Go to a doctor atleast once a while to check the wound. Sometimes a big wound takes a while to heal. They need to check if there are proper signs of healing and formation of granulation tissue. Sometimes they need to clean the slough to allow healing. So, I'd advise ypu visit a local surgeon or atleast an RMP.
