Applaud Women Winter Article - Wound Healing

When Cuts and Scratches Don't Heal Quickly by Dr. Walter Kwass from Merrimack Valley Hospital, Haverhill, MA

For most people, cuts and scratches heal within days or weeks. But for those whose natural healing process is hampered, a simple sore can become a complex medical problem. Without proper treatment, these wounds can cause severe health risks and may result in life-threatening infections, debilitating health problems, and even amputation.

Chronic and non-healing wounds can result from a number of factors, including diabetes, poor circulation, trauma, vascular disease, and immobility, which can cause pressure ulcers, more commonly known as bed sores.
