A member asked:
I fell on sidewalk&scraped my leg 4 weeks ago.it didn't bleed but did form a scab,now it's red and i'm wondering if it's still healing or if it's scar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Healing: likely still healing as the skin under the scab will continue to heal and will go back to normal looking skin in another 2 weeks.
