Hello, I have gone through your query.
In the above said information, you have or have not diagnosed with diabetes? I you have diabetes decreasing sugars is main role because it will not let heal the wound.
If you don't have diabetes and wound does not heal, debridement and then on medication would be better of treatment,
Hope it helped you.
Thanks,
