While minor cuts and scrapes usually heal on their own, deep wounds, heavy bleeding, signs of infection (redness, swelling, pus, warmth), or wounds that won’t close properly should be evaluated by a medical professional.

Our team carefully cleans the wound, removes any debris, and applies the appropriate treatment, such as stitches, bandages, or medical adhesives. We also provide detailed instructions for at-home care to promote proper healing.

Keeping the wound clean and covered, changing dressings regularly, and following proper wound care instructions can help reduce the risk of infection. If you notice increased pain, swelling, or discharge, seek medical care promptly.

Not necessarily. Stitches are needed for deep cuts, wounds with jagged edges, or those that won’t stay closed on their own. Some wounds can be treated with adhesive strips, staples, or medical glue.

Healing time depends on the wound’s size, depth, and location, as well as overall health. Minor cuts may heal in a few days, while deeper wounds can take weeks. Proper care speeds up healing and minimizes scarring.

If the wound is deep or contaminated with dirt or debris, you may need a tetanus shot—especially if it’s been more than five years since your last one. Our team can assess your risk and provide a booster if needed.

It depends on the wound type and treatment. Some wounds should be kept dry, while others can be covered with a waterproof dressing. Follow your doctor’s recommendations for the best healing outcome.
