A laceration is a deep cut or tear in the skin caused by trauma. Unlike minor scrapes or surface wounds, lacerations may involve damage to the underlying tissue, muscles, or nerves. Depending on the depth and location, the wound may require stitches, staples, or adhesive closures to heal properly. Prompt medical care ensures that the wound is cleaned, closed, and dressed correctly to reduce the risk of infection and scarring.
Change bandages as advised and avoid getting the wound wet.
Monitor for redness, warmth, or drainage.
Reduce stress on the area to avoid reopening the wound.
Let the body heal naturally.
