My mastectomy wound has opened almost entirely. Will this heal/fill in on its own as the PS tells me it will? (Photo)
Freaking Out in DenverJan 10, 2015
Non- smoker, no diabetes, no radiation, no infection. Bi-lateral mastectomy and other breast healed fine. Plastic surgically debrided and reclosed wound 2 weeks ago, but it reopened. I am using Silvadeen on wound. Plastic says will heal on its own. How it's this possible? I am horrified by this huge open wound and very scared it won't heal. Can it and how long might this take? Your thoughts?
