I hit my head on the corner of a wall and the doctor gave me stitches for 3 days only because the skin she would ve used for the skin glue came off when I hit my head. There is a mark there now that is lighter than my skin. Is it likely that my skin will grow back?
Hi, unfortunately no. The skin does not grow back, what happens is a cicratization process where fibroblasts fill up the space where there was skin, leading to a mark/scar.
