I had a wound not heal for over a year and it was a hormonal issue (Cushing's disease). So it may be something completely unrelated. It was very frustrating!

It seems like you've tried almost everything with no results. About all I can think of since you've done so much is to obtain a referral to a "Wound Clinic". Most hospitals either have this type of facility or certainly can direct you to one. I'm guessing that you saw a Breast Specialist last year when you had the above mentioned surgery, but if not then I suggest that you start there. A skin biopsy might be a good idea at some point as well. A year is way too long to be suffering with something of this nature. I wish you the best and hope for a solution soon.  Regards ......
