How long for deep cuts to heal and how could i reduce the scarring and scar tissue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It varies: You will always have scar tissue but you can make the scar softer with massaging the scar and silicone gels also help minimize the look of a scar. The amount of time that it takes for a wound to heal is so variable, no one can give you a good answer.
