Coral Cuts Treatment in Koh Samui | Doctor Lamai Clinic

What Are Coral Scrapes and Cuts?

Coral is made of hard, sharp calcium carbonate, often covered in tiny organisms and bacteria. When coral scratches or cuts the skin, these tiny fragments or toxins can remain embedded, making the wound prone to:

 Infection
 Rash or irritation
 Pain and swelling
 Slow or incomplete healing
Some coral wounds may even cause allergic reactions or long-term skin discoloration if not treated properly.

 Symptoms of Coral Injuries

 Red, painful scratches or cuts
 Swelling or raised bumps
 Warmth around the wound
 Pus or cloudy fluid
 Itching or rash
 Fever (in severe cases)
 Even if the wound looks small, it can get worse quickly. Early treatment prevents complications.
