Chronic and non-healing wounds can result from several factors, including diabetes, poor circulation, trauma, vascular disease, and immobility (which can lead to pressure ulcers, commonly known as bed sores). People with diabetes are at particular risk. You are not alone if you have a wound that won’t heal. Approximately 7 million Americans experience this condition.
