1. Educational purpose
The information on this website is provided for general education about chronic wounds and their treatment. It is not a substitute for a personal consultation, examination, and assessment by a qualified clinician. A wound cannot be diagnosed from a description or a photograph.
2. No guaranteed outcomes
Wound healing varies greatly from person to person. Chronic wounds heal over months rather than weeks, recurrence is common, and no treatment can guarantee closure. Diabetes and vascular disease must be controlled for any wound to close. Any description of typical treatment, healing time, or result is general and may not apply to your individual situation.
3. Seek professional advice
If you have a wound that is not healing, or experience warning signs — a wound that is enlarging or deepening, black or dead tissue, spreading redness, fever, foul odour or pus, new severe pain, a toe or foot that turns black, cold or blue, or loss of sensation — seek medical attention promptly. Do not wait for a scheduled appointment. For general questions, arrange an assessment with a qualified clinician.
