How Long Does White Wound Take To Heal Post Self Injury?

Well I sure you can help. A couple weeks ago exactly today I fell down the stairs and I did a number on my ankle. I gouched a dime size. Half of my wound is now red and the other half is soft and white but I don t want to pull it off causing more damage. How long will it take that white skin to fall off and what is the healing process?
