How does the skin heal itself when injured?
When the skin is injured, it initiates a healing process that involves several stages: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling.

Finally, new tissue forms through cell proliferation and migration, and the skin remodels over time to restore its strength and appearance.
