Question 1

how long for a cut on face to heal?

Accepted Answer

Natural Process: The good news is that area has fantastic blood supply and so healing will occur rapidly. Inflammation (red, hot, tender swelling) is the body increasing the blood flow to the injury to bring healing factors to the area and also the veins expand to carry bad stuff away. Keep it covered with an occlusive dressing changed every other day and avoid further trauma. It will heal very quickly.

Question 2

how long does it take for cuts on the face to heal?

Accepted Answer

4-14 days: Simple cuts and abrasions can take 4-14 days to heal.  Wounds that are sutured can take up to a year for scars to settle down.  Healing scars should be protected from sun exposure.

Question 3

why do cuts on the face take longer to heal than anywhere else on the body?

Accepted Answer

Good question...: Depending on the area of the cut (such as the nose), there are fewer blood vessels present to deliver healing elements (such as fibroblasts) to the area.

Question 4

i keep getting small cuts on the head of my penis what can i do to stop them i have been using creams to heal the small cuts

Accepted Answer

I : I am concerned because herpes lesions can often present as small cuts. I recommend you have yourself evaluated by a doctor in order to rule out herpes.
On the other hand, did you suffer an injury or trauma to your penis that may have resulted in these cuts? Regardless please see your doctor.
Good luck.
