How long does it take cut skin to grow back? and how long should i wait to get its scars to go away? any home remedies that can help the scars?

Depends: It depends how deep the cut was. The skin is many layers thick. If only the very top layer (the epidermis) was cut it will usually heal with no scar. As deeper layers are cut then one has to perform a "layered" closure, and then it's important to take into account the underlying muscular anatomy.
