I have a very deep wound just under my knee, i didnt go to my doctor until 4 days after it happend. He said i should have got a stitch in it and that it has now become infected. Since then the cut hasnt started healing at all and is still bleeding. Why is this?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for writing. I am Chat Doctor.  I have read your question completely, I understand your concern and will try to help you in the best way possible. Yes doctor was right deep wounds who usually need a stitch should not be left open they catch infections. According to your history you seem to be having an infected wound in which there is ongoing infection. I hope you are taking antibiotics suggested by the doctor regularly. This wound is not healing and still bleeding because when there is infection and inflammation in the wound it delays the healing process, as infection settles down healing will start to speed up automatically. I would suggest you to take care of your wound, keep a good hygiene, don't let it get wet, take antibiotics regularly, if you were my patient I would have suggested you to take Augmenting 1 gram twice a day, I hope you are already taking antibiotic. For pain, you can take Tylenol or Broken. Daily cleaning and
