A wound that doesn't heal... what is it - doctors please?!


Question: A wound that doesn't heal!.!.!. what is it - doctors please!?
My dad has a round wound, like 1cm (1/2 inch) big on his leg!. The wound wouldn't heal for about a month, so he went to a dermatologist and he gave him some ointments, saying it will take a couple of months!. 2 months passed and nothing healed!.
What do you think it is!? Anyone seen anything similar!?

Answers:
has your Dad been tested for diabetes and heart problems!?

Both of these diseases will cause wounds to not heal!.

This is a VERY serious condition! Wounds that do not heal can get infected!. This can cause gangrene, which then can require amputation of the leg!.

have your Dad go see a regular medical doctor!.
