What Can Someone Use To Treat A Leg Wound That Refuse To Heal by winnerz: 10:44pm On Nov 21, 2016
The leg started with a swelling(left leg), and severe pain. Then during the process of application of the balm prescribed by the doctor, the skin became irritated and there was a scratch that subsequently led to a wound that was compounded by the swelling and it has ever since refused to heal. Test confirm that blood sugar is normal. been placed on antibiotics and the wound would almost heal and the breakdown again.

I will like the Doctors in the house or an Herbs specialist to help out.

Thanks!

HBOT and chronic, non-healing wound: Any wound that does not want to heal should receive hyperbaric oxygen (hbot) in addition to proper wound care.
HBOT will improve blood supply and oxygen delivery to the wound. It will kill bacteria, and support the antibiotics to work better, It will boost your immune system so that your body can fight back the infection and promote healing. It will reduce the swelling arround the wound and opens up blood vessels for adequate blood supply.


This information is from HBOT providers.

medical research showed that Certain health conditions can cause chronic non-healing wounds, such as:
•Anemia.
•Bowel disorders.
•Chronic Osteomyelitis.
•Circulation or clotting disorders, often caused by arteriosclerosis.
•Diabetes.
•Heart Disease.
•High Cholesterol.
•Hypertension.

Medical research notes that Normal wound healing takes about 3 weeks, but some wounds can take months or even years to heal. Local factors such as the condition of the wound, infection, trauma and edema affect healing as can systemic factors -- those that affect the whole body -- such as age, general health and nutritional status.

Contamination and Infection
Wound infection is one of the most common reasons for delayed wound healing. When a wound is contaminated or becomes infected, the immune system marshals energy to fight the bacteria, leaving little for healing. The bacteria produce toxins that also interfere with healing and cause cell death. Bite wounds are especially likely to be heavily contaminated.

Impaired Circulation and Oxygenation

Blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to the healing area and removes bacteria, toxins and debris. Conditions that reduce blood flow and oxygenation are common causes of poor wound healing. Advanced age, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease and high blood pressure can all affect circulation and interfere with healing. Anemia and chronic lung disease impair oxygenation, and obesity slows wound healing because fatty tissue has fewer blood vessels. Tobacco also impairs wound healing because it reduces circulation.

Condition of the Wound
The condition of the wound affects its ability to heal. Excessive pressure or repeated trauma to the wound delays healing. Dehydration causes the cells to dry up and crust over, whereas over hydration from exposure to urine or feces, for example, causes the skin to macerate -- become too moist and erode. Dead, or necrotic, tissue must be removed or the wound will not heal.

Medications
Drugs that inhibit the inflammatory response, such as corticosteroids, delay healing. Chemotherapy stops cells from proliferating, impairing wound healing. Radiation therapy depresses bone marrow function, increasing the risk of infection, and prolonged antibiotic therapy increases the risk for a secondary infection.
Aging
Elderly patients heal more slowly than children and healthy adults. Their skin is fragile and their risk of infection is higher because of a slower inflammatory response, diminished antibody production and slower endocrine system function. In addition, they are more likely to have chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease that impair circulation and oxygenation.
Poor Nutrition
The body needs more protein and calories, zinc and vitamins A and C for wound healing, so a balanced diet is essential. Food plans should include at least two to three servings of protein, at least one serving of foods rich in vitamin A, such as green or orange fruits and vegetables and at least one serving of vitamin C-rich foods such as citrus fruits, strawberries, spinach, peppers, potatoes or tomatoes. Zinc, found in fortified cereals, red meat and seafood, may also be helpful for healing.

You need to get a second opinion from another doctor. Since treating with antibiotics is clearly not working, there might actually be another underlying problem that is preventing it from healing. Herb specialists are not the way forward here, you will just delay figuring out what is actually wrong and let the wound become gangrenous which will eventually lead to an amputation. Not trying to scare you here, but that's the truth.

See another doctor. Antibiotics are not drugs to be taken lightly.
If sitting for long periods of time, elevate the wound.
Invest in antibiotic powder, or medical honey for wounds.
Keep a close eye on blood sugar.
Eat plenty of leafy greens, especially ugu, garden egg leaf and spinach.
Drink enough water.
Don't clean the wound with spirit, buy saline drip or use dettol.
Try to keep moving. Staying in one place isn't good for the body. Keep the heart pumping blood.

ABOVE ALL ELSE, SEE ANOTHER DOCTOR!!!!
