What Is Chronic Wound Care?
Most wounds heal on their own with basic first aid. But when a wound doesn’t show signs of healing within 4 weeks, or gets worse over time, it may be considered chronic—and require medical intervention.
Chronic wounds can result from underlying conditions like diabetes, poor circulation, surgery, or radiation therapy, and can lead to infections, tissue loss, and serious health risks if left untreated.
