How long does it take for the white marks to recover after the scab falls off

In our daily lives, our bodies are often inevitably subjected to various traumas. The scab after bleeding indicates that the wound is about to heal. After the scab falls off, there is a white mark on the wound, which worries many people because the wound is not very serious. If a white mark appears, people will definitely worry that it is a scar. So, how long will it take for the white marks to recover after the scab falls off? Let’s take a look below.

If your scab falls off on its own, your skin has healed well on its own. Whether your face's skin color will be completely consistent with your own depends on your own recovery condition. Generally speaking, teenagers in puberty will recover the fastest. You need to judge based on your own youth, metabolism and other conditions. Generally speaking, it will take at least a week, and at most half a month.

What should we pay attention to after the wound scabs and scabs fall off?

1. Prevent inflammation and infection. Never try to remove the scab with your hands. It is best to let it fall off on its own. If the scab has not completely fallen off and redness or itching appears, you can apply some ointment to the local skin. Reduce contact with raw water and keep the local skin dry, which can prevent inflammation and infection.

2. Pay attention to your diet. Eat more protein-rich foods, such as lean meat and eggs. Protein is very effective in healing wounds and can also reduce the chance of infection. Eat more foods containing vitamins, such as fresh fruits and vegetables. Vitamin A can reverse the inhibitory effect of corticosteroids on wounds, and vitamin C can promote the synthesis and cross-linking of collagen. You should also eat high-fat foods that have certain anti-inflammatory effects, such as fish oil.

3. Rest and proper exercise. Proper physical exercise can enhance the body's resistance and help the scabs fall off. However, if the scabs are on the joints, you should reduce activity to avoid pulling and breaking them. If you are outdoors, you should avoid direct sunlight, pay attention to sun protection, and pay attention to the combination of work and rest.
