Infected Wounds

What Are Infected or Malignant Wounds?


Infected wounds are red, swollen, warm or may drain pus. Malignant wounds can arise from cancers or tumors and often present with foul odor, pain and chronic drainage.

​

Why Treatment Matters
Untreated infections can lead to widespread complications, including systemic infection (sepsis). Malignant wounds require special care to minimize pain and discomfort while preserving dignity and quality of life.
