Brief Answer:
Infection heals slowly

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

If it is a small wound with pus it will heal slowly. You can request doctor to send pus for culture and sensitivity test. You can take antibiotics as per report. This will heal wound faster.

If it's a large wound, it might need resuturing.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
