In life, accidents happen. They can lead to a whole host of injuries that require prompt medical attention. At Prime Immediate and Primary Care, our doctors are highly skilled at treating minor lacerations and wounds, and repairing serious cuts. Our office is also fully equipped to perform minor surgical procedures should the need arise.
A cut is a wound that breaks the skin, usually due to an unexpected trauma from a sharp object. While most people have experienced what it’s like to get a minor cut, lacerations can be deeper and more irregular in shape, often caused by either a sharp object or a blunt force, such as a powerful strike or hit to the body.
Whether an injury is a cut or a laceration, symptoms can be similar and include bruising, bleeding, swelling and skin discoloration. Prompt treatment is essential for preventing complications and usually starts with an evaluation of the type, cause and depth of the injury. At our office, we will perform a thorough examination to determine the best options in care. If the wound is red or shows signs of infection or to prevent one from developing, we may prescribe a course of antiobiotics.
Cuts and lacerations can be more than just painful annoyances—they can lead to serious infection if not treated quickly and appropriately. Our efficient and compassionate staff is well-equipped to effectively treat your injury, so that you can get on with the rest of your day.
