Question 1

can the dent in my head heal?

Accepted Answer

Less likely: If there is an indentation in the bone/ separation of the subcutaneous tissue likely the defect remains without filling over and becoming level/uniform.

Question 2

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 3

sores on the face that don't heal. ?

Accepted Answer

It should be checked: I don't want to alarm you, but it is highly likely you have a basal cell cancer on the face--the most common type of skin cancers. Being age 60 living in florida, my first guess would be this type of cancer. It is often cured by simple complete excision. I certainly hope I am wrong, but this sounds quite suspicous. Please consult doc for eval. Good luck.

Question 4

how to get wounds on the face to heal faster?

Accepted Answer

Keep moist.: It has been shown that all wounds heal faster and with less pain, scarring and infection if kept moist. A topical antibiotic ointment such as Bacitracin applied as many times per day to keep consistently moist will help.

Question 5

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 6

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 7

natural way to heal an old burn on my face?

Accepted Answer

Remodeling occurs: A scar forms when there is  healing of an injury to the tissues.  Remember that with almost all wounds, healing continues for months and months as we change the stress on the tissues.  A scar forms as a result and may have many different appearances and colors.  Any dark coloration may fade over time but the tissues never are the same and so some scarring will always be there.

Question 8

i have pimple problems in my face. what should i do to heal them?

Accepted Answer

See Dermatologist: There are many ways to treat the pimples.  But,  first, you have to be examined by a dermatologist.   Let him/her examine you and treat you.

Question 9

i have a scab on my face that will not heal  - it is on my hairline ?

Accepted Answer

Infected v irritated: There is probably something irritating the wound,  or there may be some mild local infection... 
Keep it clean,  no lotions,  skincare,  or hair care products. 
U can even try to clean the area with an alcohol pad... 
If it still doesn't heal in 5 days seek a dermatology opinion,  sometimes these things can be serious

Question 10

what  face creams used to heal post surgical face scars?

Accepted Answer

Scar Cream: There are a number of topical treatments for treating scars.  In the early post op period, antibiotic ointments are used.  When the scars are healed after 10-14 days, silicone based topicals can be used.  Consult your local plastic surgeon for guidance.  Early treatment can prevent needing more invasive treatments later on.
