My facelift wounds won't heal, what do I do? (Photo)

Thank you for the photo and your question. In most of these cases, the issue is a "foreign body reaction" that is keeping the incision open. Most often, this is a remnant of a suture. Occasionally it is an ingrown hair. Please visit with your surgeon to have a closer look. Also, as a side note, topical antibiotic ointments can prevent wound healing with prolonged or aggressive application. Please avoid this. Rather, chose a gentle moisturizer or Aquaphor. Take care! 

Hi,
The wound you have pictures is a chronic wound that should be treated. The cause could be infection, suture reaction, disease causing wound healing disorder (such as diabetes), malnutrition etc
I advice you visit a professional.

First determine with your surgeon if there is a suture present.  Generally sutures do not cause these. You may not be aware that you are causing any trauma to this site. However any manipulation of this delicate tissue can delay healing.  Try to make a pact with yourself that no matter what, you will not manipulate the area.  Keeping it hydrated with Vaseline is also helpful. If you can’t do this on your own, there is a medication dermatologists prescribe folks who have a tendency to breakdown skin by self-scratching that can be helpful.
