A member asked:
What doctor to go to for suspected wound infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If it is a surgical wound, go back to the surgeon. If it is from some sort of trauma an emergency medicine doctor, internist or any type of surgeon should be able to treat a noncomplicated wound infection.
