Avatar f tn I would have the doc look at it in case there is infection inside. If the strength of the site is compromised a wound can be pulled apart even much later. I once had an abdominal incision abscess and it nearly turned into gangrene. I'd call the doc at least, and if the drainage is not clear but like pus and/or has a bad odor, I would treat it with urgency.
Avatar m tn It will absorb the weeping - a healing reaction, by the way unless the weeping fluid is cloudy, thick, and quite uniquely painful with redness and swelling around your wound, most importantly has an offensive smell - you are in the healing stage, and with a powdered topical med forming an immediate scab you will be fine. Try to keep it dry...if you wet it during showers, gently blot dry immediately, disallowing the new scab to dissolve.
Avatar f tn Competition between several healing areas for the substrates required for wound healing impairs wound healing at all sites. L = Low temperature: The relatively low tissue temperature in the distal aspects of the upper and lower extremities (a reduction of 1-1.5°C [2-3°F] from normal core body temperature) is responsible for slower healing of wounds at these sites.
Avatar m tn Are their any treatments you know of that can help the wound heal faster? How long does it take for a wound like this to close? Thanks.
Avatar f tn Is this wound infected or healing? There's yellow gooey thing on top of my wound. Is it a scab or infection? I'm currently under Augmentin antibiotics and also i'm putting fucidin on top of my wound as suggested by my surgeon last two days. The wound is not pain and the yellow gooey thing is just there and cannot be wiped off. It's hard. No discharge as well. I didnt wanna go back to my doc as of now cos of the charges. Appreciate the help!! Picture: https://s.yimg.
Avatar m tn I had then mastrubated the next morning. These what seemed to be paper cut wounds became small circular cuts that are now healing. Today is the 5th day since our first encounter, and these are still there, though healing well. They do resemble a present cut on my finger in the sense it is a wound that has been irritated....almost crater like with a slight raised area around it. The cut on my finger was from work and has been extremely irritated from daily activities.
Avatar f tn Also poor circulation just adds to the problem of the wound healing. You can probably expect a longer wound healing time and as the dr said debridement if needed. Hope this helps and good luck.
Avatar f tn I was wondering how long would a normal time be for healing from a wound? My dog seems to have a very slow healing time. She has hurt her paw before, which took forever to heal. And now the scab above her eye still isn't all the way healed. Is there something I can do to help her? It doesn't seem to bother her, but I want it to heal faster, so there won't be much room for infection or anything else to happen.
Avatar m tn initially i left that as it is but the wound was not healing faster (adding to the problem after the bath the skin which is kind of healing i.e turing brown comes of and skin is red ) so far no puss. the doctor also suggests to apply hibi cleanser.
Avatar m tn Also diabetes leads peripheral neuropathy, atherosclerosis etc which make wound healing troublesome.You need a culture sensitivity of wound scraping to know what antibiotics will suit the infection. If there is underlying dermatitis, then this needs to be taken care of. If there is severe atherosclerosis preventing blood supply to wound, then this needs to be diagnosed by angiograms. It is better to get this treated at a wound clinic.
Avatar n tn If the area around the wound is not healing, is dead and won't take stitches then you need to find a better vet. That dead tissue is a major problem......it is not only dead but spreading fatal bacteria. It needs to be 'taken' off to the layer of healthy tissue. Your cat is not eating or recovering because she is full of bacterial infection. If your Vet won't do anything...find another!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is a 911 situation!
Avatar f tn , Nutrition should be with lots of energy, vitamins and proteins to promote healing, lots of oral fluids. Obesity can also delay wound healing. Since the bony flap is not taking up and there are no signs of healthy wound healing and new bone formation, she required exploration and reconstruction of the bony flap. Get her a reconstructive surgeon consult immediately to evaluate the status of bony flap and reconstruction under general anesthesia. Hope this helps. Take care.
Avatar f tn the vet gave us to add inside the wound. The wound has not close at all and I am very concern that this will take more than a month to heal. I am very upset at the vet, because he blame everything on my dog, he should not scratch, but the tumor was on the right down of his neck and if he walks, sit of anything that area will always be moving. I would like to know if there anything else I can put on the dog wound and how long will it take to close that whole.
Avatar n tn or maybe you have other problems like diabetes or hypertension that is hindering the proper healing of wound. Nutritional status is also important for good wound healing, make sure you have enough calorie and protein intake for the day. Make sure to discuss all of these possibilities with your surgeon. I hope your biopsy will heal completely soon, though It's good to hear that the result of the biopsy is just fibroadenoma. Regrads and God bless...
Avatar m tn You might need a culture test since hospital borne infections could secondarily infect a well healing wound.
Avatar n tn They could be non healing due to underlying infection, low supply of oxygen to the wound that is reducing the healing process, underlying diabetes, or due to underlying dermatitis. Wounds heal slower in smokers or alcoholics who have been drinking for a long time. So these have to be ruled out. Also diabetes leads peripheral neuropathy, atherosclerosis etc which make wound healing troublesome.You need a culture sensitivity of wound scraping to know what antibiotics will suit the infection.
Avatar n tn Thanks Dr. HHH. Yes, I was mixing up fissure with fistulas. I know I'm thinking about this too in depth, but "intact" skin for all logical purposes of HIV risk includes open wounds/cuts/breaks in the skin such as healing wounds.
Avatar f tn It all started out, as what I remember a small little, what looked to me like a wart and it itched really bad. I thought it was just a little rash. I scratched it constantly. It's located right on my chest/neck area, between the two bones of my neck. After a week, it grew into a small dime sized leison on my neck. At this point it was just oozing, oozing and ozzing liquid (Yellow or white), and it was itchy. The surface of my skin is FLAT, no bumps or anything.
Avatar f tn Saw a doctor today. The cyst wound is healing well but could take another month or more. I had no idea it may take 2 to 3 months to heal from an excised cyst.
Avatar f tn Anyone taking humira and feel like they are sick coming down with a cold for a week after injection? Not a full blown cold but the start of one. I feel like this always and this is my 3rd dosage ( counting the starter kit), so I'm new to humira. I've noticed if I'm stressed, I'll even get a sore throat. I know humira suppresses your immune system but are you supposed to feel like you're coming down with something every injection or will this go away with time?
