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 less likely to mess with a surgery wound than you are with a cut or scrape. Scratching and peeling at scabs slows down healing. Plus, the skin of surgery wounds may close up, but the deeper wound takes a lot longer to heal. The closed up skin is what yoh might think of as fully healed. But it’s like microwaving food, only the outside is warm but the center is cold. Haha
