Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
I have a wound inside a scar from 30 years ago that won't heal. It's been oozing for over a year, the size remains the same. No pain, no odor. How can I make it heal?

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Any wound within an old scar should be biopsied to rule out the possibility of a Marjolin ulcer, a type of skin cancer. It's crucial to visit a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment of your condition.
Thanks
