Certain wounds take longer to heal than others (i.e., leg or foot ulcers). Poor nutrition can also damage the body's ability to heal wounds. Too few calories, especially from proteins, and inadequate vitamin (and zinc) intake may affect wound healing. An infected wound harboring a large number of bacteria usually slows the healing process.
For example, diabetes and obesity are common causes of slow wound healing.
