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.
