How long does it take scratches to heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That depends: on the depth of the scratch, what type of tissue (like face versus foot) or surface (flat surface vice a joint) it is on, if the wound was clean & if you have any conditions which might impact healing (like diabetes mellitus)>
