Urgent Care for Lacerations

Lacerations, commonly known as cuts, are injuries that tear or break the skin. Depending on their depth, location, and severity, lacerations may require immediate medical attention to prevent infection, control bleeding, and ensure proper healing. At London Harley Street Clinics, our urgent care team is equipped to handle all types of lacerations with precision and care.

When to Seek Urgent Care for Lacerations

While minor cuts may heal with basic first aid, some lacerations require urgent care. Seek professional treatment if:

  • The wound is deep or longer than half an inch.
  • Bleeding doesn’t stop after 10 minutes of applying pressure.
  • The wound edges are jagged or gaping.
  • A foreign object is embedded in the wound.
  • The cut is on the face, hands, or near a joint.
  • There are signs of infection, such as redness, warmth, or swelling.
  • The injury was caused by a dirty or rusty object, increasing the risk of tetanus.
