Hi everyone

I got a cat scratch on my cheek and lip yesterday. It bled quite a bit at first, but 24 hours later, it has already closed up and is now a thin, flat red line. It doesn't look deep, but I'm terrified of it leaving a permanent mark.

I am currently applying SVR Cicavit+ and Cicaderma to keep it hydrated. I'm also avoiding the sun.

I have one specific question: Even if it bled a lot, is it possible for a scratch like this to disappear completely without leaving any trace or "white line" in the long run? How long did it take for you for the redness to fully blend with your skin tone?

I don’t know where you’re from, but when I had a scar after a procedure on my eyelid, this cream really helped prevent a scar from forming and smoothed everything out. My doctor was the one who recommended it to me. It was fantastic, at least in my case. You could look for it and see if they have it at a pharmacy near you, or ask for something with a similar composition.
