Wounds
A wound is a break in the continuity of the skin or tissues, caused by a cut, blow, scrape, or burn. It can range from superficial injuries to deeper ones that require attention.
Types and signs to watch for: redness, pain, swelling, or discharge; certain wounds, because of their size, location, or appearance, warrant professional evaluation.
When to seek care? It is advisable to seek attention if the wound is large or deep, bleeds persistently, does not close over time, or shows signs of infection such as warmth, pus, or fever.
Which specialist treats it? The emergency physician provides the first care; the general surgeon, the dermatologist, or the vascular surgeon may take part depending on the characteristics and progression of the wound.
