AFC Urgent Care FAQs
-
What types of wounds does AFC treat?
AFC Modesto treats a variety of wounds including: lacerations and cuts, puncture wounds, minor burns, scrapes and abrasions, and surgical wound complications. For severe wounds, large burns, or wounds that won't stop bleeding, seek emergency room care.
-
Do I need stitches for my wound?
Some wounds require stitches (sutures) to promote proper healing and reduce scarring. Our providers will assess your wound and determine if stitches are needed. Generally, wounds deeper than 1/4 inch or gaping open may benefit from stitches. We can close wounds with stitches, staples, or surgical glue depending on the wound type.
-
Do I need a tetanus shot after an injury?
If your wound was caused by a dirty or rusty object, or if it's been more than 10 years since your last tetanus shot, you may need a tetanus update. Our providers will assess your tetanus status and administer a booster if needed during your visit.
-
What should I do to care for my wound after treatment?
We'll provide detailed wound care instructions including: how to keep the wound clean and dry, when to change bandages, signs of infection to watch for, and when to return for follow-up or suture removal. Follow these instructions carefully to promote proper healing and prevent infection.
-
When should I have stitches removed?
Removal timing depends on wound location and type. Typical removal is 5-7 days for wounds on the face, 7-10 days for head and trunk wounds, and 10-14 days for extremity wounds. We'll let you know when to return for suture removal and can do this at AFC if desired.
Don't wait to get the medical attention you need.
