I think this is sufficient. Sometimes healing of wound takes time. Particularly when wound is infected. I wound is infected it takes time otherwise it will heal soon. Finally end with 'Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help". For Follow up questions, end with "If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health".
