I think the entry should have that it is used only in
negative sentences:

Use is almost always みっともいいものではない
I picked adj-f because I was not sure if this conjugates.

If it matters, I used "attractive" or "appealing" as
translation for the example sentence about the wound.

I need help with this entry. At first I tried to copy over
the translations from mitotmonai, but is that wrong? They
are negative but this word is positive and the negative
comes fromthe verb.
If that means the entry is incorrect, can you please change
the translations to the positive?
