About Lacerations & Cuts

Stitches, staples, wound care and burn treatment on a walk-in basis

Our locations are available on a walk-in basis to treat minor injuries and cuts that, while not requiring a trip to the ER, still need expert medical care. At Atlanta Urgent Care, we always have highly experienced doctors and health professionals ready to help you. You will always be seen by an experienced provider at Atlanta Urgent Care.

What can we treat?

If you’re wondering what types of injuries we treat, here are some of the services we perform and cases we see on a regular basis:

Removal of foreign objects

Laceration treatment

Lacerations can occur at any time, and they don’t always require a visit to the emergency room. If you are experiencing severe bleeding, head injury, limb-threatening injury, or major trauma, seek emergency care. Otherwise, we are more than happy to assist you at one of our convenient Atlanta Urgent Care locations.

Treatment can include skin adhesives, sutures, skin-closure tape, and staples, and updated tetanus shots may be given. Receiving proper care for lacerations can help to stop bleeding, avoid possible infections, and restore all function to the injured area.

Burn treatment

Burns can stem from fire, the sun, electricity, liquids, objects, and chemicals. Mild to moderate burns can be evaluated and treated at our walk-in clinic. For severe burns, call 911 or head to the emergency room. Treatment for burns will depend upon the severity of the burn, as well as the type of burn received. We have easy-access follow-up appointments with the major burn clinic in the Atlanta metro area.

If you treat your burn at home, keep an eye out for signs of the development of an infection. Signs include an increase in pain, long healing time, and an increase in warmth surrounding the burn. If you notice any of these signs after at-home treatment, make sure to walk in to our clinic to ensure proper diagnosis and care for your burn.

If you receive a burn that blisters, causes mild to severe pain and/or swelling, and is either larger than 3 inches or is on the hands, feet, face, groin, buttocks, or over a major joint, walk in to our urgent care clinic for treatment. Remember, for severe burns, head to the ER.
