2 months ago my cat scratched me in the face. Upon inspecting the cut I noticed that it was not bleeding. Skin was cut but not enough to bleed. I was religious about the healing process. I kept it covered in medical honey to promote collagen and help the scar tissue disperse evenly. After healing I started using Mederma, I've stayed clear of the sun, have been drinking water like crazy, taking every vitamin good for your skin, and massaging the scar. Now it's 2 months later and I'm freaking the f out about my face. I don't know how to explain the scar. It isn't super idented but it is not the same level as the other skin. It's still redish pink, it hurts, sometimes itches and the scar tissue is still there. Is it still healing and can I expect it to start to magically become apart of the skin I've tried so hard to maintain or should I give up hope? I've had several skin problems in the last 5 years. I have scars on my chin that I've learned to deal with. I don't think I can deal with this on my cheek. I have been so stressed out I've had trouble eating and sleeping this last week. I don't want to leave the house. Why hasn't it healed already? People get scratched by cats daily. My other scratches on other parts of my body went away on their own. So idk why the one time it's my face this happens. It sounds dumb but I dealt with a severe skin disease for 2 straight years and this is bringing me back to that time when I was incredibly depressed and did not want to participate in life. I've also dealt with a lot with my health this year and I just really cannot do this too. Advice would be great. If it doesn't go away I'm not sure what I will do.
