When it comes to wound care, time is everything. What starts as a small cut, blister, or sore can quickly develop into a chronic, hard-to-heal wound without the right care. At BWC, we believe the best wound care is often early, proactive care and we’re here to help you recognize the signs before they become serious.
Why Small Wounds Matter
It’s easy to dismiss minor skin injuries like a scraped knee, a small cut, or even a pressure mark from a new pair of shoes. But for many people, especially those with diabetes, poor circulation, or mobility issues, even a small wound can escalate quickly.
Chronic wounds can lead to:
-
Serious infections
-
Extended hospital stays
-
Increased risk of amputation
-
Reduced quality of life
Early, professional wound care can help you avoid these risks and promote faster, healthier healing.
Warning Signs to Watch For
If you experience any of the following, it’s time to act:
-
Redness, warmth, or swelling around the wound
-
Persistent pain or tenderness
-
Drainage (especially if it’s cloudy, yellow, or foul-smelling)
-
A wound that doesn’t show signs of healing within 7–10 days
-
Changes in skin color near the wound (darkening or blackening)
Don’t wait for things to get worse — early assessment and treatment can make a significant difference.
