Wound not healing since 3-4 months
Sir/ma'am
I have this wound present on my finger since past 3-4 months, it's not healing and I am NOT diabetic or pre diabetic patient. I got this wound while working with some wooden particles, and had a very very small particle of wood getting stuck into it, which I don't know is still there or not. I am attaching the pic for your reference, I used to feel pain earlier on pressing it but now it's completely painless.

There might be a small particle stuck inside. Visit a surgeon for the same. It's a small procedure.

If you suspect there is wooden particle still inside, get an HR-USG of the finger done to confirm whether there's any foreign particle inside.
If it is there, then removal of the same will help in healing, if there's no foreign particle, then surgical debridement of the wound is to be done.
