How long will this wound dehiscence take to heal? (Photo)

June 25, 2015
Asked By:Diastasis in Ontario, CA

I'm on regular daily wound care and antibiotics for an infected wound that occurred 2 1/2 weeks after my repair. The hole is 1cm deep and 4cm at the widest top. It doesn't really tunnel. What is the best guess of time that this thing will actually take to heal? Very disappointed and frustrated.
