I have a tiny scab on my arm that has scarred and reopened multiple times, but large surgery wounds I’ve had have healed completely in less time than I’ve had this one. Am I just stupid and missing something obvious?
EDIT: I don’t pick at scabs. I can recognise basic cause and effect.

You’re probably moving your arm, and healing wounds are more likely to tear with movement. In fact early on, that probably helps the skin heal without the scar restricting movement. Also for surgical wounds, there is suturing, including in lower hidden layers of muscle and dermis, that helps hold it together
