Follow up :the saint augustine grass at my house scratched my leg. when will the scratches heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scratches: If the scratches or abrasions are uncomplicated, they should scab over and heal completely within 10 days or so. See your physician if spreading redness or purulent discharge appears. Keep the scratches clean and dry and you could apply an antibacterial ointment like bacitracin once a day.
