Answers:
Ouch! When you say a good chunk of skin has gone as well as some flesh i fail to see how this wound will heal over without either one of these being present.?.?.? If i were you i'd ask to be referred to a palstic surgeon - and quickly! Yes, a wound will heal in time but how long have you got.? Without flesh and skin a wound will heal in on itself thus creating a sizeable groove or, medically, a deep fissure. This isn't acceptable nowadays and so you should go back to the hospital and demand to be seen by someone that can help you! Why should you be fobbed off with second rate attention.? The dr that first saw you is at fault and you have grounds to sue in a court of law! Tell him that when you go back! You'll certainly get the 1st class treatment you should have recieved in the beginning!!! Best of luck to you.Health Question & Answer

The skin will grow back, but it will be very sore and sensitive for a while. Everytime you bump it will hurt REALLY bad, but not to worry! Once the scab starts to heal, it will become more numb than anything.

I would give it a week and a half, 2 weeks to start healing to the point of numbness.Health Question & Answer
