Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Get your PT and APTT level evaluated. Clot formation should occur within seconds.
2. Possibility of slow wound healing due to collagen vascular disorder or chronic diseases like diabetes mellitus needs to be evaluated.
3. 6-8 months is a very long time. If not around joints, requires tests. First get a coagulation workup done.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
