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. Your lifestyle makes a difference too - smoking reduces the blood supply to the skin, which slows healing.
Bruises occur when blood is released from the capillaries and is trapped under the skin. The good news is that by the time you notice a bruise, itâs already well on its way to healing. A bruise is commonly tender and sometimes even painful for the first few days, but the pain usually goes away as the color fades. Because the skin is not broken in a bruise as with a scrape or cut there is no risk of infection. Bruises typically take 2 weeks to heal/disappear.
