I got a deep scrape/cut 7 days ago. there is some blueish grey skin and the side with the discolored skin seems to be developing a hard edge. is this part of healing process? have kept covered with bandaid and vaseline since initial injury?

Your description of the wound still requires at least a topical antibiotic. If not an oral antibiotic being a deep wound. Keeping wound clean, topical antibiotic and covered. Should allow proper healing. If redness, pain develop see your doctor.
