Hi,
From history it seems that due to not proper cleaning of wound and poor local care, flies might have put eggs into the wound and now larva might have grown giving worm like appearance.
Clean the wound with hydrogen peroxide and after proper cleaning go for dressing with antibiotic cream.
It is advisable to go for 2-3 dressings done by doctor only.
Ok and take care.
