Minor cuts, scrapes, and lacerations are common injuries that can happen at home, work, or during daily activities. Prompt and proper care helps prevent infection, minimizes scarring, and promotes faster healing.

Common reasons to visit include:

• Deep cuts or wounds that continue bleeding after applying pressure
• Lacerations caused by glass, metal, or other sharp objects
• Wounds with dirt, debris, or signs of infection (redness, warmth, or pus)
• Animal or human bites
• Minor burns or abrasions that need cleaning and dressing

How we can help:

Our providers will perform thorough wound cleaning, closure (stitches, staples, or adhesive strips), and bandaging. YourMD Urgent Care offers tetanus shots, antibiotic prescriptions when needed, and clear home care instructions to ensure proper healing and prevent complications.
