Skin, Wounds & Stings

Cuts & Wound Care Treatment

Walk-in wound care: cleaning, closure, and stitches for cuts that won't stop bleeding — plus tetanus boosters when needed. Three Roanoke Valley clinics.

Overview

What it is

Kitchen knives, shop tools, broken glass, and playground falls produce cuts every day that need more than a bandage — proper cleaning, closure, and a check on tetanus protection. The goal of good wound care is simple: close it cleanly, prevent infection, and minimize the scar. Most cuts that need attention do not need an emergency room; they need a clean, careful repair.

Symptoms

Common symptoms

A cut that gapes open or has edges that will not stay together
Bleeding that continues after 10–15 minutes of firm direct pressure
A cut deeper than about a quarter inch, or one that exposes deeper tissue
A cut caused by a dirty, rusty, or animal-contaminated object
Dirt or debris embedded in the wound
A cut on the face or another area where scarring matters
