Toe wound after procedure not healing

[juless77]

I had a procedure done on my toe about 3 weeks ago, and the wound is still not healing properly. It’s still very wet, and I’ve been going to the hospital every other day to have it checked and the dressings changed.
I’m following all the advice given by the medical team:

• Staying non-weight bearing
• Keeping the foot elevated (only putting it down to use the loo)
• Managing my diabetes (blood sugars are under control)

Despite all this, the wound just doesn’t seem to be drying or healing much. We’re due to go on holiday in 4 weeks, so I’m getting quite anxious about the healing progress. Has anyone been through something similar or have any additional tips to help promote healing? Thanks in advance!

What sort of procedure?

If the medical staff are seeing it every other day, have they expressed any concerns? Suggested a time period for healing?

I had a small operation on my foot and it took a good 5 weeks to heal. Use crutches to keep the weight off the foot and stay off it as much as you can. I had to keep going back to have it checked too so feel your pain!
