Wound Infection Treatment in St. Petersburg, FL Q&A

What Is a Wound Infection?

A wound infection occurs when bacteria or other microorganisms invade broken skin and begin to multiply, triggering inflammation and interfering with the natural healing process. Infected wounds may start as minor injuries but can quickly escalate without medical attention.

  • Increasing redness, warmth, or swelling around the wound
  • Yellow, green, or foul-smelling drainage
  • Persistent or worsening pain
  • Fever or chills
  • Red streaks spreading from the wound
  • Delayed healing or reopening of a closed wound
  • Thick scabbing, pus, or visible necrosis
