health blog Burns and chronic

Burns and chronic wounds can affect more than the skin. Depending on their severity and duration, they may involve deeper tissues, cause pain, limit movement, increase the risk of infection, and lead to significant scarring. Timely assessment and appropriate wound care are essential for supporting healing and reducing complications.

While minor wounds may heal with basic care, severe burns and wounds that do not heal as expected require specialist evaluation. Treatment may involve wound management, infection control, dressings, scar management, rehabilitation, or reconstructive surgery depending on the individual condition.

Dr. Hisham Burezq, Consultant Reconstructive Burn & Pediatric Plastic Surgeon in Kuwait, provides specialised expertise in the assessment and management of burn injuries, chronic wounds, scars, and reconstructive needs.
