NO.. It was not carpet burns. I have much more skill that that.
A friend of mine fell over whilst drunk on Saturday and he has a wedding to go to next weekend.
Thanks for all your help. xBx

Depends how bad it is. On average, minor skin injuries will take between ten days and two weeks to heal, and the scar will take a bit longer than that to fade, depending on the skin type.
What might help is one of those special plasters, which reduce the scarring and help the new skin to granulate faster.
Elastoplast and Compeed have developed silver-lined plasters that are supposed to help promote new skin growth, and there is a brand of special keratinizing silicone plasters which reduce scarring.
However, at this stage, I suspect the best bet for him would be to keep it clean, use a mild and non-pongy moisturiser, and possibly invest in some concealer if he's particularly bothered!
Enjoy the wedding...
:)

It depends on so many things - your age, your general fitness, your diet. Eat well and get plenty of sleep and it will heal faster. Also don't pick any scabs off it! Probably about 2 weeks to heal completely.

Depends on blood suppy to area, if it has a scab on it this may delay healing, optimum wound healing requires moist wound bed, however do not pick scab as may cause scarring. Good nutrition will help, obesity and diabetes may hinder the process - hope this helps xx

it depends on your lifestyle, if you smoke and drink it will take longer to heal than a non smoker and it depends on the size of the graze, everyone heals at different rates so it is hard to say.

if you take care of it, wash and put ointment on 3 times a day, it should take 4-9 days to completely heal. But you'll see improvement by the 2nd day. DRINK LOTS OF WATER, K?

my kid got in a fight with his sister.
she gouged out a huge chasm in his face.
very nasty. it left a terrible scar.
i wasn't there when she did it (i just thought i'd point that out!)
That was about 2 years ago. It has now healed and u can hardly notice it at all!! does that give some comfort?
when i was a kid, i was doing a handstand on my skateboard. I slipped and was scarred for life !! It only appears as a slight white patch and there is an area on my right cheek where the hair won't grow properly. I'm still pretty good looking tho, apparently, according to my ex fiancee!!
just thought i'd throw that in !!
funnily enough, some girls would probably almost die for whatever i did cos the hair has never grown properly, just in that patch ??????
curious huh !!!!!!
it was only a scrape too!!!

my sister grazed all her face after falling off her scooter. it can depend on what you use to ensure healing.
anything up to 12-15 weeks depending on what you use!???
we used arnica for her and natural remedies!!
