Why do wounds take so long to heal? The way the skin heals is determined partly by your genes - some people do heal quicker than others, and also your age - healing slows down the older your are. Your lifestyle makes a difference too - smoking reduces the blood supply to the skin, which slows healing.
First, an immune response causes the wound to become inflamed to prevent infections. Second, new cells (a scab) form over the wound, and finally scar tissue forms to heal the wound. Some wounds heal easily while others can take longer, particularly if they are severe or the individual has a poor state of health.
