Have questions about a cut that may need stitches in Conway, SC?
What Kind of Cuts Qualify
Clean cuts from kitchen accidents, yard work, or minor falls are often good candidates for urgent care stitches, as long as bleeding is controlled and the wound is not too deep or complex.
When to Go to the ER Instead
Deep wounds, heavy uncontrolled bleeding, injuries near the eyes, or cuts caused by a serious accident may need ER-level care, including possible surgical repair.

What the Visit Looks Like

Aftercare Matters
Keeping the area clean and following your provider instructions on when to return for stitch removal helps reduce the chance of infection and scarring.
