Why do wounds take so long to heal? The way the skin heals is determined partly by your genes - some people do heal quicker than others, and also your age - healing slows down the older your are. Your lifestyle makes a difference too - smoking reduces the blood supply to the skin, which slows healing.
Overview. 1  Normal wound healing takes about 3 weeks, but some wounds can take months or even years to heal. 2  Wound infection is one of the most common reasons for delayed wound healing. 3  Blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to the healing area and removes bacteria, toxins and debris.
