A member asked:
Is it a good sign that a graze is starting to itch is it healing if so how long more will the cuts be there?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Itching is a sign that your injury is healing. It happens usually when the injury scabs over. Usually if the graze is superficial and not very deep then it should heal in about a week. If it is deeper, then it probably will take longer even up to a couple of weeks. As long as the surrounding area does not turn red and become more painful you should be fine.
