black skin wound healing - #14813
I am feeling a bit worried about something that's been going on with my skin. A few weeks agoo, I got this cut on my knee while playing soccer. At first, I thought, no big deal, just a scrape. But man, it seems like this black skin wound healing process is taking ages. It’s super frustrating because I know that healing can vary but I keep reading that black skin wound healing might be different, you know? The wound looks dark and it feels like it’s not closing up as it should. Do I need to use a special ointment or something? Like, I’m trying to keep it clean, so I’ve been washing it gently, but it's still kind of raw and I feel like nobody really talks about how black skin wound healing can be helped. Should I be concerned about scarring too? I heard sometimes we have more pigmentation issues. Like, should I be using sunscreen on it even though it's not totally healed yet? Just to be safe? Also, are there any tips specific to black skin wound healing that I could try, or is it just about time? Ugh, I’m just really wishing the whole black skin wound healing cycle would hurry up already! Any advice would be super appreciated.
