Could a burn be classed as a chronic wound?

All wounds, regardless of how they were caused, can become chronic wounds. All wounds greater than 30 days are classified as chronic wounds. Chronic wounds need to be checked by a wound specialist to help the wound "wake up" and start healing again. I suggest you seek out a medical provider soon to help with this problem. Chronic wounds can also benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which helps get more oxygen to the tissue trying to heal. Oxygen is a major component of healing.
