When I wasnt healing after my big operation, my ENT got me into the HBO treatements, a wound care specialist and an infectious disease doc (for IV antibiotics thru a picc line). Its all due to what you wrote, trying to heal a readiated area.
Hope you find a good ENT quickly and get this treated. Best of luck.
