HI
Thank for asking to HCM
You may right, if it is open wound with septic inside then the formation of maggot is likely, but for that it need to examined properly, the other way is microscopic examination of scooped wound material, this will clear the picture, otherwise wound from wound site is very unusual, take care have nice day.
