Granulation (no stitches) |
The skin tissue is allowed to heal itself without stitches thus requiring no further surgery. The wound will be moist and bumpy at first and have a yellow/pink or yellow/red base. The new skin will grow toward the center and become light pink and smooth. This type of healing may take several weeks (4-6 weeks on average). The final scar is round to oval and smaller than the original surgery site.
