Recognizing the Signs That Need Medical Attention

While many minor wounds heal naturally, some wounds signal a need for professional care — and early intervention can make all the difference.

If a wound isn’t closing, becomes more painful, or shows signs of infection, it could indicate a deeper issue that requires immediate attention.

🚩 Signs You Should See a Wound Care Specialist:

✔️ Excessive redness, swelling, or warmth around the wound
✔️ Persistent or worsening pain
✔️ Discharge, foul odor, or pus formation
✔️ Slow healing — especially for individuals with diabetes or vascular disease
✔️ A wound that reopens after starting to heal

Why It Matters

Chronic conditions like diabetes, poor circulation, or a weakened immune system can slow the healing process and increase the risk of serious complications such as infections, ulcers, or even amputation if untreated.

Professional wound care offers access to:

• Advanced dressings

• Debridement (removal of unhealthy tissue)

• Specialized therapies (like cellular and tissue-based products)

These interventions can significantly accelerate healing and reduce risks.

Did You Know?

Early treatment prevents small wounds from turning into serious infections or chronic ulcers. Prioritize your health by acting early.
