Facial abrasions take about 1 to 2 weeks for the wound to heal, and the hyperpigmentation after healing may take 3 to 6 months to disappear, with scarring in severe injuries. The wound healing time for facial abrasions is about 1 week, and for severe abrasions, it may take about 2 weeks for the scabs to fall off. After the wound heals, there may be localized hyperpigmentation or light skin color, most of which gradually return to normal in 3 to 6 months. If the abrasion reaches below the dermis, or if the abrasion shows signs of infection, it will leave a scar on the skin, which may shrink and soften over time, but will not disappear. Promptly visiting the hospital after an abrasion and having the doctor clean the wound to avoid causing an infection will help reduce the signs of skin abrasion and shorten the recovery time.
