In areas of cold climate he metabolism rate of our body slows down which means every function of body will slow down including rate of wound healing.

moreover Our skin gets dry in the winter. This is partly because the cold air outside is dry as cold air cannot hold as much water or moisture.This dryness make skin dry and itchy, and when we tend to rub our itchy skin it cause additional damage to the wound and thus, wound take longer to heal.
