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.
Wounds that don't heal can lead to other health problems. Circulation problems, diabetes, cancer may lead to slow-healing wounds. Normal wounds heal within weeks, but for people with health problems, the injuries may fester for much longer. In the worst cases, persistent wounds that aren't treated can infect the bone and even lead to amputation.
