Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in wound care services?
Wound care services involve assessing the type and severity of your wound and providing treatment to support healing. This may include cleaning the wound, applying dressings, prescribing antibiotics if needed, and monitoring for signs of infection. Some wounds may require stitches or removal of foreign objects. Regular dressing changes may be arranged to help keep the wound clean and support healing. Your doctor will advise on follow-up care and any restrictions during your recovery.
When is a minor surgical procedure recommended?
Minor surgical procedures may be recommended to remove skin lesions, cysts or other small skin concerns. These procedures are typically performed in the practice under local anaesthetic. Your doctor will assess the concern and discuss whether removal is appropriate. Reasons for removal may include discomfort, cosmetic concerns, or monitoring for changes that could indicate a health issue. Your doctor will explain the procedure, possible risks and the care required afterwards.
How long does a wound take to heal?
The healing time for a wound depends on its size, depth, location and your overall health. Small, shallow wounds may heal within a few days, while deeper or infected wounds may take several weeks. Following your doctor’s advice for wound care, keeping the wound clean, and attending follow-up appointments helps support the healing process. Factors such as diabetes, poor circulation or immune conditions may slow healing, and your doctor will advise on managing these risks.
Can I remove stitches at home?
Stitches should generally be removed by a healthcare provider unless your doctor advises otherwise. This helps ensure that the wound is healing properly and reduces the risk of reopening the wound or causing infection. Your doctor will tell you how long the stitches should remain in place and book a follow-up appointment for removal. It is important to follow aftercare instructions to support healing and protect the wound during recovery.
