Hello,
It will take ten to fifteen days for complete recovery. You have to gently clean the area with soap and water and apply topical antibiotics like mupirocin. The scabs must be removed while cleaning as it may lead to further adhesions and infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
