Most people wait too long. Here's how to know when it's time to ask for specialist care.
Basic wound care works for minor cuts and scrapes. But chronic wounds - wounds that have been open for more than a month, or that keep coming back - need something different.
Watch for these signs:
The wound is getting larger, not smaller
You notice odor, unusual drainage, or darkening around the edges
The skin around the wound is warm or swollen
You have diabetes, heart disease, or circulatory issues and have any open wound
You've been treating it at home for weeks with no progress
Specialist wound care isn't a last resort. It's just the right tool for the right problem.
