Hello,

I am quite emapthetic to the injury and rest of the your problems.

I can get that it is almost 2 weeks since you have got the injury. You have not told us your age so that an idea regarding healing power could be assessed. If you are a young person then the injury heals faster but if you are in older age goup then you might get delayed healing.

In all cases of injury if an immediate attention is payed then stitching the wound gives best results.

At this time frame of 2 weeks you should try and maintain the good hygiene and do not expose to direct sunlight. Let the scab over the wound falls off by itself.

In my patient with your kind of problem I prefer to prevent secondary infection by application of an antibacterial cream such as mupirocin or fucidin.

All the bst.
