Comprehensive Treatment for Cuts, Scrapes, Surgical Wounds, and Skin Injuries

Wounds of any kind—whether from trauma, surgery, burns, or skin conditions—require proper medical attention to promote healing, prevent infection, and reduce scarring. At Yeongjong Central Dermatology Clinic, we provide professional wound care tailored to the type, depth, and location of the injury, with a focus on comfort, cleanliness, and long-term skin recovery.

What Are Wounds?

A wound is any break in the skin’s surface caused by injury, surgery, or underlying conditions. Wounds vary widely in severity and presentation. Common types include:

• Lacerations (deep cuts from sharp objects)
• Abrasions (surface scrapes caused by friction)
• Puncture wounds (e.g., from nails or needles)
• Post-surgical wounds (following procedures or biopsies)
• Burn wounds (from heat, friction, or chemicals)
• Infected or slow-healing wounds (especially in diabetics or immunocompromised patients)

Proper care ensures faster healing and reduces complications such as infection or hypertrophic scarring.

When Should You See a Dermatologist for a Wound?

Professional wound care is recommended if:

• The wound is deep, bleeding, or has exposed tissue
• Edges are not closing naturally or appear gaping
• Signs of infection are present (redness, swelling, pus, fever)
• Healing is delayed beyond a few days
• The wound is in a cosmetically sensitive area such as the face or hands
• You have underlying conditions like diabetes or circulatory problems

Even seemingly minor wounds can lead to long-term skin changes if not treated correctly.
