FAQ About Annual Physical Exam

How long after surgery or injury should sutures be removed?

It depends on the location. Face sutures are often removed in 5–7 days, while those on the trunk or extremities may stay 10–14 days. CoreMed Plus will advise the best timing for your specific wound.

Does suture removal hurt?

Most patients feel only mild tugging or pinching. The procedure is quick and well-tolerated with proper technique at CoreMed Plus.

How often should I change wound dressings?

It varies by wound type. Your provider at CoreMed Plus will give specific instructions, often daily or every few days.

What are signs of wound infection?

Increased pain, redness, swelling, warmth, pus, fever, or foul odor. Seek care promptly at CoreMed Plus if you notice these.

Can diabetic patients get good wound care?

Yes. CoreMed Plus specializes in diabetic wound care with tight blood sugar control, offloading, and advanced dressings to promote healing.

Will I have a scar after wound care and suture removal?

Some scarring is normal, but proper care minimizes it. We provide guidance on scar management.

Dr. Mark Richter Bio

I grew up in Florida as the oldest of five sons. After earning my degree from the University of Florida, I pursued my medical education in the Dominican Republic. In 1988, I began my Family Practice Residency at the “old” Pontiac General Hospital. I have been providing medical care to the same community since 1991, first in Waterford and later at our current location in White Lake, where I continue to practice today. I take pride in being board certified by the American Academy of Family Physicians and remain committed to Primary Care. I am passionate about promoting a healthy lifestyle, including a proper “balanced” diet, exercise, exposure to healthy outdoor activities, and achieving work-life balance. I married my Medical School Sweetheart, Barbara, and we are fortunate to have two adult children and a granddaughter. We have been residents of Oakland County since 1988 and enjoy all that Michigan has to offer.
