How fast does your skin usually take to heal?

It really depends on what it is.
A burn, paper cut, or bruise can take anywhere from a few days to a couple weeks to heal.
A deep cut takes a few months to heal. If there's more injuries around it, it takes at least a year for everything to heal.

When I got a large black bruise on my leg, it took about two weeks to heal. When I got stung by a bee, it left a scar for a year or so. When I wore the wrong shoes for a race, my feet were scarred for several months. And self-harm? That sh*t stays far longer than anything else.
Try putting lotion on a scar (not a fresh injury) to speed up the process. The more injuries your body has to recover from, the longer it takes.

How do you define "extremely fast"?
If I cut my skin, for example, the wound usually stops bleeding after only a minute or so, it will heel within a day but it will take a week (or even longer depending on how deep the cut was) for the 'temporary scars' to be completely gone. I always thought that was rather fast.

Pretty fast. Could be a eat a lot of protein I heard at one time that helps heal wounds but I'm not sure if that's accurate

I stop bleeding pretty fast, but my scabs take forever to peel naturally.

Hmm Kind of slow simply because if I rush it i'll end up with a scar and then that takes also forever to fade.

Ridiculously slow. I think it's probably because I'm pale so you can see every scratch and bruise so clearly!

Burns are good after an hour or so. Minor cuts take a few hours. Deep cuts take a few days.. my skin is ridiculous lol

[teawrecks]

A really long time and no matter how minor the cut, it always leaves a scar.

next time i'll time it

A scrape takes like a day and a half.

depends on your genes, age and nutrition.

[Josht13]

yeah but OP asked about your own skin.

[anonman32]

@Josht13 depends on my genes age and nutrition.

[Josht13]

do you not know whether roughly whether your wounds heal fast (although now that I say that it seems rather subjective).

[anonman32]

@Josht13 it goes slower than wolverine, thats for sure.

[carinerose]

Fairly quickly I'd say
