I have tried everything to get these holes on my hip to close. Did a round of antibiotics, kept it moist with honey, oil, ointment, Vaseline, etc.... Let it scab. Kept it covered. Nothing will work. Non smoker, 38 yr old, fit, no health issues. It has been open for 2 mos and I am so sick of it. Been to see ps almost weekly and not helping. I don't see a stitch. Help! No matter what I try, when I take a shower and the ointment or scab is gone, the holes are still there. Very superficial.
