If the wound has not been closed in first days after a surgery, it can not be closed quickly and it takes even months to completely close it. If there is any discharge from the wound, and it is still infected, swab test should be done and proper antibiotic prescribed. If the wound is clear, nothing more you can do t accelerate healing. Please attach the wound photo if possible so I can give more accurate answer. Hope this will help.Feel free to ask further questions. Regards.

Brief Answer: Detailed below. Detailed Answer: Insulin applying in the wound is not a good idea. It rather does not help with healing. You should rather focus on maintaining good glucose level in the blood stream. Generally most of the substances applied into the wound will prolong healing time. The best you can do is to wash it with Octaniline agent. You may also consider vac-therapy if the wound is producing some discharge. Hope this will help. Regards.
