LL-37 for stubborn post-op wound that just won't close, anyone tried it?

Had a minor surgery on my shin about 6 weeks ago and the incision site is being a pita. Surface closed but the deeper layers are still kinda weepy and my doc keeps saying give it more time. I'm already running BPC and doing the usual rehab stuff but the wound bed itself feels like it's dragging.

Been reading up on LL-37 lately, the antimicrobial peptide that also supposedly helps with re-epithelialization and angiogenesis. The wound healing angle caught my eye since the antimicrobial piece might help if there's any low grade biofilm stuff keeping it from closing properly.

Curious if anyone here has actually layered LL-37 into a healing protocol for a slow closing wound. How did you dose it, topical or subq, and did you notice anything within the first couple weeks? Also wondering if it plays nice with BPC or if there's any reason to separate them timing wise.

Not trying to rush healing, just want to give my body something more targeted since patience alone isn't cutting it.
