Wound Care Treatment in Singapore: How to Heal Faster and Avoid Complications

If you’re dealing with a slow-healing wound, pressure injury, or diabetic ulcer, proper care is essential to prevent infection and ensure a smooth recovery. At St Luke’s Wound Clinic in Singapore, we specialise in managing both acute and chronic wounds with a team of dedicated experts.

Why Proper Wound Care Matters

Ignoring even a minor wound can lead to serious problems such as infection, delayed healing, or even sepsis. With the right wound care, you can:

  • Heal faster with less pain
  • Reduce risk of infection
  • Minimise scarring
  • Avoid costly hospital visits or complications
Left unaddressed, caregiver burnout can affect your ability to care for others—and yourself.

How to Treat a Wound at Home (Basic First Aid)

If your wound is small and manageable at home, follow these steps to reduce the risk of complications:
  1. Wash your hands to avoid bacteria.
  2. Clean the wound gently with saline or mild soap and water.
  3. Apply antibiotic ointment and cover with a sterile dressing.
  4. Change dressings daily or when they become wet or dirty.
  5. Watch for infection—redness, swelling, pus, and pain are warning signs.

You should consult a wound care specialist if:

  • There are signs of infection (fever, pus, swelling)
  • You have a chronic condition like diabetes
  • You’re caring for someone bedridden or immobile who has developed wounds

🗣 Expert Insight By Senior Wound Clinician, Kavitha D/O Sanmugam

Taking good care of your wound means keeping it protected and watching for any changes that might require a wound clinician’s attention. Healing also comes from within - eat nutritious foods, stay well hydrated, and avoid smoking to give your body the best chance to repair itself.
