Why do cuts take a week to heal?
A cut takes some time to heal due to regeneration time of your body. First the body has to seal the wound then repair it. This process takes time because to seal a cut, your body has to create new cells to bridge the wound and draw the skin back together.
How to heal a cut quickly??
You should take the bandaid off at night to let the air get to it to help it heal quicker, but still use a bandaid during the day to keep bacteria out of it. Take zinc tablets to speed up the healing time, and when the cut isn't open anymore, put vitamin e cream or pure vitamin e oil from a gel capsule on the healing scar to help. The cut should definatley be healed in less than 3 weeks unless you have hemophelia (a condition of the reduced ability of your blood to clot).
How long do cuts take to heal?
It depends on a lot of things, mainly the body part, how deep they are, how many of them there are, if and how you’ve treated them, and if you have cuts anywhere else. I’ve found that rougher, firmer, less “squishy” skin tends to heal faster (outer thigh heals faster than inner thigh, etc.). Obviously deeper cuts take longer to heal and your body will have to work a lot harder to heal 30 cuts than 3, so deeper cuts and having more cuts at once will definitely prolong the process. If you treat your cuts after making them, they heal faster, more efficiently and are more likely to fade/not scar. By this I mean disinfecting (you can use hydrogen peroxide, iodine, or my personal favorite, alcohol) using some kind of medical antiseptic, followed by smearing the cuts with something to make them heal faster (I usually use Vaseline+aloe vera, but you can use calendula gel/cream, Neosporin or anything similar). Finally, as I said earlier, the more cuts you have, the more slowly they will heal, especially if you have them on other parts of your body. Overall, your best bet is to not cut in the first place and find a healthy coping mechanism that won’t leave you with scars and possibly infections, distorted self-image, paranoia and other lovely side effects. Hope this helped, and I hope you get clean.

I have a paper cut that just won't heal!?
I was licking an envelope about a week ago and the edge of it caught me in the corner of my mouth. Everytime I go to eat or put anything in my mouth the wound reopens. Is there anything that you can put on it to make it heal faster? I can't stop eating! LOL Because it's in the crease of my mouth it's not like I can put Neosporn or stuff like that on it. This has never happened and it's starting to get worst. Any help would be appreciated!

A week today I cut really deep and it's still not healing?
I cut myself really deep and had to go to hospital a week ago today, they glued my wrist and taped it together. But I've replaced the tape like they said and today I had a look at it it's not even healing up. It's still raw and has green and yellow discharge from it, is it infected?? I haven't told my mum about the green discharge in it. Shouldn't the cut be healing by now????? Helpp!
