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.
Finally, scar tissue forms to mimic the structure of the skin before the wound to heal the tissue. That said, there are many reasons why a wound is slow to heal. Certain wounds take longer to heal than others (i.e., leg or foot ulcers). Poor nutrition can also damage the body's ability to heal wounds. Too few calories, especially from proteins, and inadequate vitamin (and zinc) intake may affect wound healing. An infected wound harboring a large number of bacteria usually slows the healing process.
