Minor injuries
Small cuts, scrapes, and minor burns usually heal well with basic care, but a clinician's assessment can catch when one needs more — like stitches, antibiotics, or a tetanus check. This visit gets you a quick read and a plan.

Frequently asked questions
What kinds of injuries can this visit handle?
Small cuts, scrapes, and minor burns — your clinician will review photos and your description to confirm what's appropriate for a video visit versus needing in-person care.
How do I know if a cut needs stitches?
Depth, length, and whether the edges stay together on their own are key factors — your clinician can help you decide based on your description and photos. Your clinician will guide you on next steps if in-person evaluation for stitches seems necessary.
When does a minor injury need emergency care instead?
Bleeding that won't stop with direct pressure, a deep wound exposing tissue, or a large burn needs immediate emergency care. Don't wait to see if these signs improve on their own.
Do I need a tetanus shot?
This depends on the type of wound and when you last had a tetanus shot — your clinician will assess your risk and refer you for a booster if it's needed. This applies to any wound, not just bites, since it's about breaks in the skin generally.
What side effects are associated with treatments for minor injuries?
Antibiotic ointments can occasionally cause mild skin irritation; oral antibiotics, if needed for a deeper or infected wound, can cause digestive upset. Your clinician will explain what to watch for as the injury heals.
