A member asked:
When i was scratching my face i accidentally scratched my scab that's 1 day old, will it make a permanent scar on my face?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: This is difficult to say without examining the wound. This will depend in the depth if the injury. Any scar is permanent but its appearance will be a result of the healing process.
