my husband has an open wound that does not
seem to want to heal. we bandage it at
least 2 times a day. it was draining alot
at first but now it only drains alittle.
It has been open for the past 5 days.
should I be concern about infection? he
does not want to go to the doctor.

If you are pulling off the scab when you
change bandages then that could be
preventing healing. Try and make sure the
bandages are a non-stick kind. Bandage
very loosely, just to keep out dirt. Keep
the wound dry to promote scabbing. If you
don't get any healing in the next few
days, I'd drag him to a doctor.
