Why dont they go away?
 

ok, i have been wondering this 4ever. why dont the scares from cutting ever go away? i mean there have been times where my dog has clawed me there and THOSE SCARES whent away. i really dont get it. isthere a medical reason behind why they dont go away?

I suppose it depends how it is done, cats claws are hooked so they can dig in to flesh, rather than cutting it, so generally the scratches aren't too deep.

I'm sorry I'm not much help right now, maybe take vitamin suplements and try some scar cream like Bio-oil once the scabs have healed.

Take care x

they go away, it just takes time. also as stated above, it depends on the depth.

Plus we cut alot more then we have little accidents like scratches. So they're more noticeable to you, and they're usually done by "Instruments" that cause a gap between skin, whereas scratches only tear a little bit of it, not to the point of semi gaping.

From what I understand, skin that is ripped can heal cleaner then something that is sliced, accidental injuries also tend to be shallower then on purpose ones. That is often why accidental ones scar less.
