How long will it take for the cleft of my buttocks wound to close? (Photos)

December 23, 2016
Asked By:egyptiannurse in Trenton, NJ

I developed a opening in the cleft at week 2 it seems to be getting larger. My surgeon like others says to keep the area dry with sterile gauze. How long will something like this take to heal? I'm eating a high protein diet, multivitamins, and vitamin c daily.
