Deep wounds form when pressure, poor circulation, and neuropathy combine
You should see a wound care specialist if your wound is not healing, looks infected, becomes increasingly painful, or has drainage, redness, swelling, or odor. Chronic wounds—such as diabetic foot ulcers, pressure sores, and traumatic injuries—often require advanced treatments like specialized dressings, negative pressure wound therapy, or hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Early evaluation by a specialist helps prevent complications and promotes better healing outcomes.
