We have worked in Emergency Rooms (ERs) where we respond to all types of emergency patients 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. However, we have found that there are many patients who are not sure if they should go to the ER at night or on weekends, or who are in trouble, although not serious, e.g. sudden fever, illness, injury like bruise or fracture, burns, etc..
In such cases, our “Urgent Care” is the place you can go to see a doctor.
We provide first aid for common daily injuries and follow-up care for subsequent wounds. We also refer patients to specialized medical institutions when necessary. We can evaluate injuries by x-ray and ultrasonography, and CT and MRI imaging are also available at our affiliated facility “LOCO SCAN” located on the second floor of the clinic.
Burns and Wound Care
Please see the doctor immediately if you have suffered abrasions or bruises from falls or traffic accidents, cuts from knives or stationery, nail injuries, or burns from boiling water.
Wounds that require sutures cannot be sutured after a period of time (about half a day to a day) due to the increased risk of infection, and may easily leave scars.
If necessary, we will perform imaging tests, sutures, and other appropriate procedures, and will inform you on how to properly treat the wound at home and the best way to ensure that the wound heals cleanly.
Ingrown Nail /Pincer Nail
Ingrown nail or pincer nail is a condition in which the tip or side of the nail digs into the skin surrounding the nail, and as the condition progresses, it can become red, swollen, and painful with severe pain and inflammation or infection. It is said to be caused by pressure from shoes, habit of cutting nails deeply, genetic factors, habitual habits such as sports and long hours of climbing, weight gain, and tinea pedis (athlete's foot), among others.
Excision of an atheroma
An atheroma is a benign tumor that develops into a pouch-like shape due to the accumulation of waste products such as plaque and sebum inside the skin.
The cause is not clear, and recurrence is common, requiring surgical removal of the entire pouch for curative treatment.
If the tumor is red, swollen, and painful, it is called an “infected mass,” and is first treated with incisional drainage and antibacterial drugs. If the infection is repeated, the pouch becomes brittle and cannot be completely removed, making it prone to recurrence.
Please consult with us as we can remove lesions except for facial masses and large sized lesions.
