Think hydrogen peroxide is helping your wound heal?

Cold weather can be tough on healing wounds. In sub-freezing temperatures, keep wounds clean, dry, and well-covered, and dress warmly to support circulation. Keep these tips in mind.

· Keep wounds covered and dry. Cold air can slow healing and increase the risk of infection.
· Dress in layers. Extra warmth improves circulation, which helps wounds heal.
· Avoid exposing wounds to extreme cold. Cold temperatures can damage healing tissue and delay recovery.
· Change dressings promptly if they get wet. Moisture plus cold can increase infection risk.
· Stay hydrated. Proper hydration supports circulation and skin health—even in winter.

If you notice increased redness, swelling, drainage, or changes in skin color, don’t ignore it—seek medical care promptly. The Wound Treatment Center is here to assist you. Call 337-948-5100 to schedule an appointment.
