Why do wounds take so long to heal? The way the skin heals is determined partly by your genes - some people do heal quicker than others, and also your age - healing slows down the older your are.

How a Scrape Heals - Topic Overview. Most scrapes heal well with home treatment and do not scar. Minor scrapes may be uncomfortable, but they usually heal within 3 to 7 days. The larger and deeper the scrape, the longer it will take to heal. A large, deep scrape may take up to 1 to 2 weeks or longer to heal. It's common to have small amounts of fluid drain or ooze from a scrape. This oozing usually clears up gradually and stops within 4 days.
