HI
Well come to HCM
The medicine that is prescribed to you (Cloxacillin) is just antibiotic and this would only eradicate the infection if it is there and wont helps in closing, or healing, because healing is natural process, some time secondary stiches may be necessary, better to have a word with doctor if this takes more than enough time in healing, take care.
