I had this happen: If you keep it clean so it doesn't get infected and keep the edges of the would close together it will heal. I put traumeel cream (http://traumeel.Us/) on my wound to promote healing and in about a week it was closed. That was 15 years ago and I have no residual problems with the wound.
