Why do some cuts/scratches/wounds heal relatively fast, and some take a whole lot longer?

222 views

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.

Not to alarm you, but melanoma can exhibit this sort of behaviour. If you are curious about it, book a visit to the doc to get it checked out.
