What department should I go to for connective tissue disease?

Patient's question:

Recently, my colleague's wound has developed into a significant split wound, but the bleeding is minimal. During debridement, it's easier to tear the fragile tissue, making wound healing difficult. It could be a connective tissue disease. Which department should they consult?

Doctor's answer:

You can go to the children's hospital for autoimmune diseases. This disease is a clinical diagnosis, which can be secondary to various organ and tissue damage diseases, mainly secondary to bones and joints, muscles, and blood tissues. It is suggested that the current treatment for such diseases may require confirmation of the disease status. After follow-up, it is recommended that the doctor decide which department will provide treatment. For example, if there is secondary kidney disease, you can go to the hospital's department of nephrology and secondary peripheral nerve and vascular diseases. I need to have surgery at the hospital.
