Hello dear, Since the wound is not healed for 3 months,even with two antibiotic course,there is some persisting infection going on.That need initial thorough wound debridement,followed by strict wound care.Initial part has to be done by your doctor,and following wound care can be done by a nurse initially,and then by you once the healing gets into its active phase.Remember,proper wound care is the most important thing to promote healing. I hope you will find this information useful.Thank you.
