Wound Care

When visiting our practice for wound care in Brentwood, TN, one of our board-certified dermatologists will first examine and measure your wound, as well as learn more about your medical history. 

Then, your doctor will ask you questions about the cause of your wound and uncover the reason it may not be properly healing. This may be due to poor circulation, an infection, lack of exercise, insufficient diet, diabetes, or something else. 

Once the wound is fully examined and evaluated, your doctor will put together a suitable wound care plan to foster optimal healing and recovery.

At Brentwood Dermatology, our wound care specialists treat every injury as gently and tenderly as possible to avoid causing any pain or discomfort. However, due to the severe nature of some injuries, pain may be experienced during the recovery and healing process. 

A wound care specialist is a licensed professional who is experienced in fostering the healing of problematic wounds. They are specifically trained in: 

• Identifying the underlying cause of why a wound may not be healing
• Correctly cleaning and caring for a wound to prevent possible infections
• Reducing the chances of new wounds from occurring or old wounds from coming back
• Preventing limb loss 
• Performing debridement (removing dead skin and tissue from the wound)
• Helping patients stay mobile
