Deep cut on fore-arm, how long will it take to heal without stitches?
-
its a straight cut, fairly deep (goes some way through the fatty layer below skin) on the outside of my forearm. about 2.5 - 3 inches long, and roughly 8 mm wide in the middle. similar to : http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=deep+cut&um=1&hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&biw=1440&bih=838&tbm=isch&tbnid=hS11uluKOAqSFM:&imgrefurl=http://www.ebaumsworld.com/pictures/view/80426808/&docid=RVP3Cm6LMlnviM&imgurl=http://edge.ebaumsworld.com/mediaFiles/picture/649693/80426808.jpg&w=408&h=544&ei=JCnVTqLmN8KYsAaO88iqDg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=392&vpy=160&dur=3272&hovh=259&hovw=194&tx=144&ty=147&sig=116164081372416488585&page=1&tbnh=149&tbnw=115&start=0&ndsp=27&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0 i haven't got stitches, because i didn't realise it was a bad cut until i'd woken up the next morning, by which point it was too late to stitch it. how long do you suppose it would take to heal, + is there anything i could do to make it heal quicker?

Answer:
The cut takes about a weak or two to close get a silicone sheet and a scar cream fast so your scar will not be so noticeable.
