How Long Does Haematoma Take To Heal?
Following a bad fall, I had an infected haematoma on my shin, which is now like an ulcer. Antibiotics have failed to stop infection recurring. Iodine and now manuka honey dressings have changed every other day. Fall was 6 weeks ago. I am a 54 year old female. Why might it be taking so long to heal?

Elevation of limb is helpful. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
