Can wounds and scars be healed? Alles en nog wat

Answers please

Wounds always get healed. But scars might stay for a life time. But one should proudly take them as badges or medals given right after surviving the difficulties.

I've found it depends on a number of different factors, where the wound is and the initial care of the wound that might turn into a scar make a big difference. The caring for it as prescribed by a doctor probably helps reduce the visibility of the scar. Then sometimes scars fade over time.

I sliced open one of my legs on a sharp rock while climbing probably 20 to 25 years ago. I haven't noticed the scar in a long time but just took a look and it's still there if you know where to look. It's just faded a lot. It took me about six hours to get from the climbing site into the emergency room so it had been open a long time before they closed it up. It has stopped bleeding fairly quickly, but was still open about 1 cm or so.

I also have two little marks on my forehead where I hit my head as a child and had to have stitches. They are clearly visible but not particularly striking or immediately noticeable. They look like little flaws.

For example surviving from depression or something else?
