Wounds That Need More Than a Bandage: Signs It’s Time for Professional Help

Chronic and slow-recovering wounds are more common than you might think, especially in people with conditions like diabetes, poor circulation, or mobility issues. And when wounds don’t improve, they can quickly lead to serious complications, including infections, hospitalizations, and even amputations.

At Mobile Wound Care MD, we specialize in bringing expert care directly to the patient—so they can recover safely and comfortably. But how do you know when it’s time to call for help?

Signs a Wound Needs Professional Attention

If you or someone you care for has a wound with any of the following issues, it’s time to reach out:

• No signs of recovery after 10–14 days

• Increasing redness, warmth, swelling, or pain

• Discharge that is thick, yellow, green, or foul-smelling

• Black or darkened tissue (a sign of necrosis)

• Fever or chills accompanying the wound

• Wound reopens after showing progress

• Visible bone, tendon, or deep tissue
  

These aren’t just frustrating—they’re potentially dangerous. Delaying proper care can lead to infection, tissue loss, and long-term damage.

Why Mobile Wound Care?

• On-site evaluations by wound care specialists

• Advanced dressings and treatment plans

• Ongoing monitoring for faster, safer recovery
