You may need specialized wound care if you have a severe, infected, or slow-healing wound. Proper healing requires oxygen, nutrients, white blood cells, and regenerative cells like platelets and stem cells. Conditions that affect blood flow can slow healing and increase the risk of infection.
Common wounds that may require advanced care from Dr. Tahir include:
✔ Diabetic ulcers
✔ Vascular ulcers
✔ Pressure ulcers (bedsores)
✔ Surgical wounds
✔ Acute & chronic wounds
✔ Traumatic skin tears
✔ Lymphedema wounds
✔ Autoimmune disease-related wounds
Additionally, infections after surgery or injuries causing extensive tissue damage may require specialized wound care.
If a wound doesn’t heal, it may worsen over time, leading to infections and complications. Signs that your wound needs medical attention include:
Infections can also cause fever, nausea, fatigue, and muscle aches, signaling that the infection may be spreading.
