A member asked:
How can i help heal skin grow back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin will only heal if the bottom layer of the layers of the skin is still present to heal. That layer is the stratum basale of the epidermis - the deepest layer of the 5 layers of skin. Keeping it most with an antibiotic ointment and covered will promote healing. If the bottom layer has been removed by injury, then the healing will only be scarring tissue.
