Understanding Infected Wounds & How We Help

Infected wounds occur when harmful bacteria or pathogens breach the skin’s protective barrier, leading to inflammation, pus, and, if left untreated, severe complications. These infections can be caused by minor cuts or more serious injuries like surgical wounds or pressure ulcers. At Advanced Mobile Wound Care, we specialize in treating infected wounds by offering advanced care directly at your doorstep, ensuring that you receive the highest standard of treatment without the stress of traveling.

Effective wound management

What Causes an Infected Wound?

Infections typically occur when bacteria enter the body through a break in the skin. The immune system attempts to fight the infection, but when the body is unable to clear the pathogens on its own, an infection develops. Common culprits include staph, streptococcus, and pseudomonas bacteria, which can invade wounds from environmental exposure or due to conditions like diabetes or poor circulation. Additionally, improper wound care, like using unclean bandages or not keeping a wound clean, can significantly increase the risk of infection.

Signs of an Infected Wound & When to Call for Help

Recognizing the signs of an infected wound early is crucial to prevent complications. Common signs include:

  • Increased redness or swelling around the wound
  • Pus or drainage that has a foul odor
  • Fever or chills
  • Increased pain or tenderness around the wound site
  • Skin around the wound feeling warm to the touch

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek professional care immediately. Our mobile wound care team can help assess the situation and provide the treatment needed to prevent the infection from worsening.
