Why does my skin take so long to heal?

I cut my hand on a pint pot about a month ago and although it didnt need stitches, it was a deep gash.





I still have an angry pink scar on my hand 5 weeks later.





Is that normal? Should the skin not have totally healed by now?

Why does my skin take so long to heal?
no, some scars stay for a very long time, so there's nothing wrong with you


i got hurt once and the scar lasted for years, literally
Reply:You should not eat too much sugar. Sugar makes the wounds heal slower. Cut down on sweets and sugar in tea. Then see.
Reply:eat more zinc
Reply:well..i guess it's normal dude............if u'r still tn convinced..go ask a doc.
Reply:Possibly it did need stitching, cuts can be deeper than realised.
Reply:it should of healed but there's probably something wrong with you or probably the scar is really bad it could stay there permanently.
Reply:is your scar still hurts? do you take some medication for infection or something you just take amoxicillin... you can buy this at affordable price visit http://www.drugstoretm.com/Online_Pharma...
Reply:see,different people have different amount of antibodies in them .the peoples who poses more antibodies aremore prone to diseases and their healing power is alsomore.intake of vaccines consulted by docters can be helpful.so,don't worry about it.
Reply:People who are diabetic have slower healing skin, as do people with red (ginger) hair. I'm not making this up - my son (who has ginger hair) had surgery and his consultant was surprised at how quickly the wound healed, considering, as the consultant said, that redheaded people have slower healing skin.
Reply:i dont know your age. but check you diabetise
Reply:if the wound is still 'angry', that suggests there's a bit of an infection in there.
