While it's relatively uncommon, issues with wound healing in this area can occasionally arise. Factors such as diabetes or smoking can contribute to these challenges.

At this point, prioritizing diligent wound care and proper cleaning is essential. In many cases, these wounds tend to heal on their own over the course of several weeks. However, if healing doesn't progress as expected, there are alternative options to consider, such as the potential for a skin graft.
