Wound Care
A wound is a laceration (cut), abrasion (scrape), or puncture that breaks through the skin. Some wounds need stitches to close them. All wounds heal by developing a scar. The scar will be kept smaller by removing stitches at the right time, preventing infection, and protecting the wound from being hurt again while healing.
