Scar healing time

Some of you may remember a few weeks ago about glass appearing on x-rays. Basically I had a beer bottle smashed over my head on march 17. The ER doctor told me that the cuts weren’t very deep and should leave any scars. Fast forward to now and the scars arte still quite visible. Anybody know how long it typically takes for small scars to disappear?

  • I realise there are probably a lot of variables here so a ballpark will suffice.

I thought the point of scars was that they do not heal.

You may be able to speed up the process by rubbing vitamin E on them.

I’ve got some that are 40+ years old and still visible; others have gone away with time. It probably varies somewhat with where they are.

Hmm. March 17th was the night I got mowed down by my ‘friend’ speeding in a car.

Got several nice scars, including one on my brow, which is annoying since it makes my left one shorter than the right.

Does anyone know if hair will ever grow there again?

Well, ok, she wasn’t speeding, and was infact going about 15-20mph but I still managed to smash my head badly enough to scar.

I got a scar on my forhead at the beginning of October. After about 5months, it had faded alot. It doesn’t seem to have changed since then.
