facial "wound"? her entire face is a wound! Looks painful and I would figure out a painless way to euthanize myself..

Tumours are usually highly vascular.

Thanks for that info, I was wondering the same but didn't say anything, I've always been interested since the first discovery of that technique was in my hometown of Chattanooga during the American Civil War, kinda cool actually that it was found after specifically skin without blood supply to it had been left to rot and it was found that instead of indicating the patient was dead, actually showed all dead skin eaten away and fresh skin growing wonderfully.

Though I doubt that there's going to be any signs for "Maggot dead skin removal therapy" on the highway anytime soon lol.
