A wound on the ankle that hasn?t healed for 6-7 months with pain and swelling may be a chronic ulcer due to causes like Diabetic Foot Ulcer, Venous Ulcer, or infection, and it needs prompt medical care, keep the wound clean with saline, avoid pressure, elevate the leg to reduce edema, and do not use over-the-counter creams without advice, as you may require proper dressings, antibiotics, and tests for blood sugar and circulation, so please consult a doctor or wound care specialist as soon as possible.
