O: The wound measures 1.5 cm by 1.0 cm with thick fibrin across the base of the wound, there is a small amount of serous drainage from the wound.
A: Nonhealing wound, biopsy == lipodermatosclerosis
P: Wound was infiltrated with lidocaine, fibrin base was debrided, polysporin ointment, sterile gauze held in place with latex free island bandaid.
