Epithelialization occurs within 24 hours after the injury and is characterized by the detachment, migration, proliferation, and differentiation of cells at the base of the epidermis along the wound. Another way to put it is that after an injury mitosis increases, therefore cell production increases and those newly formed cells migrate to any exposed dermis and provide a temporary protection. Epithelialization is the second step in wound healing, the first step is inflammation, such as redness and heat, followed by epithelialization, then collagen synthesis, contraction, and remodeling.

The answer is to technical. I wanted an answer to describe what it will look like, how I will know when re-epithelialization begins, is that scabs, I don't know.
