how long does it take for a deep cut to heal?
Light cuts usually heal in about a week. However there is not definite answer and it could take much more time even for a minor cut. According to Hand Surgeon Robert Gluck, in most cases it takes about 1-2 weeks for a 1cm deep cut to heal. If your cut is larger and deeper, it will take more time to heal. Most of the time, a scar forms as healing continues. If you only injured the top layer of skin, you may not have a scar. A scar is more likely to form if your cut is deep and large. The scar may disappear completely, but this can take as long as two years.
