My aunty has final stage of tongue and neck cancer, and she had a wound at neck and its looking like hole, from that hole sometimes its releasing white discharge and sometimes its releasing bleeding. Day by day that hole is little bigger. Is it possible to recover that hole? Is it possible to recover the skin over the hole? And how to control that wound without becoming bigger. Please suggest me. Thank u.

Dear lybrate-user, Your aunty's wound needs a good dressing twice a day. Please consult a near by surgeon and learn how to do the dressing. After that you can do them on your own at home. That is the only way to heal the wound. Since she has neck cancer she has probably undergone radiotherapy so the wound can't be sutured or grafted. Sutures don't hold well in irradiated skin.
