Need a picture to answer. Non healing wound can be due to Diabetes, Leprosy or maybe a retained foreign body.

A non-healing wound on the inner side of the finger in a 98-year-old patient requires careful evaluation and management. Here’s my advice:  Key Recommendations 1. Infection Control:    - Clean the wound gently with **lukewarm water and mild antiseptic (e.g., diluted betadine) twice daily.     - If pus is present, a *pus culture and sensitivity test* is essential to identify the bacteria and guide antibiotic treatment.  2. Diabetes Screening:     - As suggested by Dr. Rachna, **check fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels** to rule out diabetes, which can delay healing.  3. Wound Dressing:    - Avoid powders, as they may trap moisture and worsen infection.     - Apply betadine ointment or antibiotic cream (e.g., Neosporin)** and cover with a sterile gauze dressing**.     - Keep the wound **dry and protected** from dirt and friction.  4. Medical Evaluation:     - Non-healing wounds in elderly patients can indicate poor circulation, nutritional deficiencies (e.g., low protein, vitamin C), or underlying infections.     - A physical examination is necessary to assess wound depth, signs of necrosis, or need for debridement.  Urgent Next Steps: - If the wound shows **increased redness, swelling, foul smell, or spreading discoloration**, seek **immediate medical attention** to prevent complications like cellulitis or sepsis.  Consultation Needed:  Given the patient’s age and the wound’s persistence, I strongly recommend a **detailed clinical assessment**. You can reach me on WhatsApp at **Eight Zero Zero Nine Eight Two One Three Three Two** for further guidance or to schedule an appointment. 

Get fasting and post meal blood sugar done to exclue diabetes. If pus is present, you can ask a local pathology  to take sample of pus for cultureand drug sensitivity. Clean wound with lukewarm water and Dettol, cover with betadine ointment.
