Healing by "secondary intention"

I thought I was having a 'wide local excision' for a squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) but my surgeon performed a hemi vulvectomy and left it open ( no stitches) to heal.

Anyone else had that? It took a very long time to heal and then the scar tissue grew harder and harder. I'd very much like to hear if anyone else has experienced that?

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I'm not a member of this forum but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
