Malignant wounds are often irregularly shaped, may be deep, and are usually associated with cancerous tumors. The surrounding tissue may be inflamed, and the wound may be dark or discolored.
Malignancy can slow down wound healing due to impaired circulation, compromised immune function, and the body’s ongoing battle with cancer. Proper care is crucial to manage these complications.
Treatment typically involves cleaning the wound, controlling infection and odor, applying appropriate dressings, and providing pain management. We also address any underlying issues, such as circulation problems or immune system concerns.
The most common treatments include infection control, advanced dressings, and palliative care aimed at symptom management, such as controlling pain and odor. In some cases, radiation therapy or surgery may also be considered.
