Painful Wound or Swelling? Don’t Wait Too Long

Cuts, deep wounds, or painful swelling under the skin can worsen quickly—especially in a hot, humid environment like Phuket. What may seem minor at first can develop into infection or require a more complex procedure if delayed.

You may notice:

• Deep cuts that won’t close 
• Persistent bleeding 
• Swelling with redness and pain 
• Pus or fluid buildup (abscess) 
• Warm, tender skin around the area 

 These signs often require medical treatment such as suturing or drainage.

What is Suturing (Stitches)?

Suturing is used when a wound is too deep or wide to heal properly on its own.

You may need stitches if:

• The wound edges are open 
• Bleeding does not stop 
• The cut is deep or long 
• There is risk of scarring 

Treatment includes:

• Cleaning the wound thoroughly 
• Local anaesthesia for comfort 
• Closing the wound with sutures 
• Dressing and protection 

 Proper suturing helps reduce scarring and speeds up healing.

What is Incision & Drainage (I&D)?

I&D is a procedure used to treat abscesses or infected fluid buildup under the skin.

Common causes include:

• Infected cuts or wounds 
• Skin infections 
• Blocked glands or follicles 

Symptoms that may require I&D:

• Painful swelling 
• Pus formation 
• Redness and warmth 
• Increasing pressure or discomfort 

Treatment includes:

• Opening the abscess safely 
• Draining infected fluid 
• Cleaning the area thoroughly 
• Dressing and follow-up care 

 Relieves pain quickly and prevents infection from spreading.

When Should You See a Doctor?

Seek medical care immediately if:

• A cut is deep, wide, or bleeding heavily 
• A wound shows signs of infection 
• Swelling becomes painful or filled with pus 
• You have fever or feel unwell 
• The injury occurred in an unclean environment 

 Early treatment avoids complications and speeds recovery.
