Most lumps turn out to be harmless, and a short examination often settles the question on the same day. > > If removal is the right choice, it's usually a short procedure under local anaesthesia, and you go home the same day. Every removed lump is sent for testing, for peace of mind. **Dr. Naresh Veeranki**General, laparoscopic and laser surgeon ## What is wound & abscess care?

A mild ache is eased by simple painkillers. | Normal light activity; rest the area | Keep the dressing dry for 48 hours | | 5 to 14 days | Stitches removed if they aren't dissolvable, and the wound is checked. | Most activity; avoid stretching the wound | Stitches out in 5 to 14 days, depending on the area | | 2 to 3 weeks | Back to full activity.

Common reasons are infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor circulation, pressure on the area, smoking, or dead tissue in the wound. Finding the cause is the key step. #### Do I need antibiotics? Not always. Antibiotics help with spreading infection, but an abscess full of pus needs draining; antibiotics alone rarely cure it. #### I have diabetes. Should I worry about a small wound? Yes, get it checked early, especially on the feet. Early care prevents serious infections. #### How often do dressings need changing? It depends on the wound. Some need daily changes, others every 2 to 3 days. You'll get a clear schedule. #### Can I use turmeric or home remedies on a wound? Please avoid applying pastes or powders; they can trap infection. Keep it clean and covered until it's seen. #### Will my sugar levels be checked? Yes. Blood sugar control makes a big difference to healing. #### Can family members do the dressings? For many wounds, yes. They'll be shown how. #### What is the cost of wound care in Vijayawada? The cost depends on the treatment you need, the hospital and room type, any tests, and the anaesthesia used. Dr. Naresh Veeranki gives a clear, itemised estimate after examination, before anything is booked, and most health insurance policies cover wound & abscess care.
