Cuts and lacerations can happen anytime—from kitchen accidents to sports injuries. While some are minor, others require medical attention to heal properly and avoid infection or scarring. At CareFirst Urgent Care, we provide fast evaluation and treatment, including stitches when needed, so you can get back to your day with confidence.
What are Cuts & Lacerations?
Cuts and lacerations are injuries that break the skin, often caused by sharp objects or trauma.
- Cuts are typically clean, straight wounds caused by sharp objects
- Lacerations are deeper tears with irregular or jagged edges
Some wounds are minor and heal on their own, but deeper or more severe injuries may require medical treatment to ensure proper healing.
Common Symptoms of a Serious Cut
If you’re experiencing any of the following, your injury may need medical attention:
- Bleeding that doesn’t stop after 10–15 minutes
- A deep or open wound
- Visible fat, muscle, or tissue
- Jagged or uneven edges
- Pain, swelling, or redness around the area
- Dirt or debris inside the wound
Prompt care can help reduce the risk of infection and improve healing.
