General & Family Physician,  's  Response
hello there,
If there is formation of white pus under your wound it is possible it may have become an abscess and would not heal on its own. It would require a course of antibiotics and would need to be drained by a surgeon. Also if you have a non healing wound kindly get your blood checked for CBC(Complete blood count) and both fasting and post prandial blood glucose. I would like to rule out any underlying conditions that contribute to any non healing conditions.

Hope this helps,
Please feel free to ask any further questions, I will be happy to answer them,
