Proud Flesh

Last Updated: October 04, 2011

Proud flesh is the formation of excessive tissue in wounds to the limbs.

This interferes with healing, as the epithelial cells cannot migrate over the proud flesh to create a new skin covering.

Once proud flesh is present, it must be removed surgically.
