That Don’t Heal
Minor injury treatment refers to the prompt medical care for non-life-threatening injuries that still require professional attention. At Advanced Urgent Care of Pasadena, we treat a wide range of minor injuries to help you heal quickly and avoid infection or complications. Whether it’s a deep cut, a burn, a bite, or something stuck under your skin, our experienced team is equipped to evaluate the damage, clean and dress wounds, and remove foreign objects safely.
Signs Indicating You Need to Visit Urgent Care:
- Bleeding that doesn’t stop after applying pressure
- Burned skin that forms blisters or shows signs of infection
- Deep or jagged cuts needing stitches
- Swelling or pain following an animal or insect bite
- Redness, warmth, or pus around a wound
- Object lodged under the skin and difficult to remove
- Painful puncture wounds or nail injuries
- Injury that limits use of the affected area
Minor Injuries We Treat:
- Lacerations: We treat cuts of all sizes, from small nicks to deep lacerations that may require stitches. Our team carefully cleans the wound to prevent infection, closes it with sutures or medical glue when needed, and applies proper dressings. We also provide detailed follow-up care instructions to help ensure a smooth recovery.
- Burns (First- and Second-Degree): We assess burn depth and severity, then clean and treat the affected area to reduce pain and promote healing. For blisters or peeling skin, we apply medicated dressings and offer guidance to prevent scarring or infection. Severe burns may be referred to specialized care if necessary.
- Bites (Dog Bites, Insect Bites): We evaluate both animal and insect bites for signs of infection, allergic reactions, or underlying tissue damage. For dog bites, we may provide antibiotics or tetanus shots if needed. Insect bites that cause swelling or rashes can be treated with antihistamines or topical medications.
- Lodged Foreign Objects: Whether it’s a splinter, glass shard, or other object embedded in the skin, we safely remove it using sterile tools. We check for signs of deeper damage and clean the wound thoroughly. Prompt removal helps reduce the risk of infection and discomfort.
