For patients healing at home

A wound is scary until someone explains it.

My Wound Guide helps you understand what’s happening, find the right dressings and supplies nearby, and know exactly what to tell your doctor — all in plain language, day or night.

Built for the wounds people manage at home

Most chronic wounds are cared for between appointments, by patients, partners and family members without clinical training.

Diabetic foot ulcers

Offloading, moisture balance and daily foot checks, plus the warning signs that need same-day attention.

Pressure injuries

Staging in plain language, repositioning schedules, and support surfaces that reduce further damage.

Venous leg ulcers

Compression explained properly, why it matters more than the dressing, and how to tell it is working.

Surgical wounds

What normal healing looks like week by week, and what separation or drainage actually means.

Skin tears and abrasions

Gentle dressings for fragile skin, and adhesive choices that do not cause the next tear.

Burns and blisters

First aid that helps rather than harms, depth signs, and when a burn needs a clinic.

Get emergency care now if you notice any of these

  • Red streaks spreading from the wound, or fast-spreading redness
  • Fever, chills, confusion, or feeling suddenly very unwell
  • Foul smell, black tissue, or skin that crackles when touched
  • Bleeding that will not stop after 10 minutes of firm pressure
  • A wound from a bite, a puncture, or something dirty and deep
  • Sudden severe pain, or a wound that grows quickly

Three steps, about two minutes

You do not need to describe your wound in medical language. Just show it.

Photograph the wound

Good light, phone held straight above, and a coin or ruler beside it for scale. We walk you through it and tell you if the photo needs redoing before it is assessed.

Answer six short questions

How long you have had it, whether it hurts, whether it is draining, and a little about your health. Diabetes, circulation problems and certain medications change what suits your wound.

A description of what the photo appears to show, dressing and supply categories that fit, matching products you can buy, education written for patients, and a clear signal about whether to contact your clinician today.

Start a wound check

Two sides of the same directory

Patients need to find the right supply. Companies need to be found by the right patient. The directory sits between them.

If you are a patient or caregiver

  • Run a wound check from any phone, free
  • See supplies grouped by what they do, not by brand
  • Track healing across weeks with photos and measurements
  • Set reminders for dressing changes
  • Export a one-page summary for your appointment

If you make wound care products

  • List products where the buying decision is being made
  • Fixed listing fee, no bidding for position
  • Clinical review of every entry before it goes live
  • Reporting on impressions by category and region
  • No patient identities, images or contact details, ever

Reach patients at the moment of decision

Someone standing at a kitchen table with an open wound and a box of the wrong dressings is not a browsing audience. They have a specific need, and the assessment has already established what it is.

Common questions

No. My Wound Guide describes what a photo appears to show and points you toward suitable product categories and education. It cannot examine you, feel your pulse, or know your full history. Any decision about treatment belongs with a qualified clinician.
Your photos stay in your account. We do not sell them, and listed companies never receive your images or contact details. They see anonymous, aggregated counts of how often their products appeared, nothing more.
Medical device companies pay to list products in the directory. Every paid listing is labelled. Payment decides which brands you see inside a category. It never decides which category we point you toward, and it never affects the triage signal.
Redness and inflammation present differently across skin tones, and tools in this field have historically been poor at accounting for that. We test explicitly across a range of skin tones and show the assessment confidence on every result rather than hiding uncertainty.
Yes. Each saved check exports as a one-page PDF with your photos, measurements and dates, or as a link that expires after seven days.
Not for your first check. An account lets you save checks, track healing over time, and set reminders for dressing changes.

Start with one photo

In about two minutes you will know whether this is something to watch, something to treat, or something to take to a clinician today.
