Was there any specific reason why it wouldn't heal no matter what? Something like diabetes maybe? As far as I know wounds that don't want to heal are pretty rare in people with more or less normal health..

Not diabetes. I don't think it was ever really determined, even though a skin sample was sent to the Mayo Clinic.

They were cut with a morgul blade, that wound would’ve never healed without elvish medicine.
