When to see a doctor

Seek care if you notice any of the following

  • Your wound is bleeding heavily and won't stop after 15 minutes of applying gentle pressure with a clean cloth.
  • You notice a foul smell coming from your wound, which could be a sign of infection.
  • Your wound is warm or hot to the touch, or you have a fever over 38°C (100.4°F) with a wound.
  • You see pus or yellowish fluid oozing from your wound, which could be a sign of infection.
  • You notice redness or swelling around the wound that spreads beyond the wound's edges, or you have red streaks leading from the wound.

For guidance only — always consult a qualified healthcare provider.
