Could very well be a skin cancer; see a board-certified dermatologist and have a biopsy and treatment.
I would need to see the wound to answer properly, but if it can take a long time to heal when you are on steroids. I mange a lot of different types of wounds and would recommend seeing your Dermatologist
Hello there! A non healing wound may have different causes such as infection, chronic inflammation and skin cancer formation. I recommend see a physician/dermatologist that can evaluate, and if needed, biopsy and diagnose this skin condition so appropriate treatment can be given!
