Healing
Healing is a process of skin tissue repair that involves three stages:
- An inflammatory phase that lasts 2 to 7 days and during which the skin, which appears red and hot, defends itself.
- A deep healing phase during which the dermal tissues regenerate by forming fleshy buds, proliferations rich in blood vessels and cells.

- After two weeks or so, the skin goes through a superficial phase, known as "epidermal remodeling", during which the epidermis closes from the edges of the wound.
In addition to the wounds that trigger this protection mechanism, there are other recurring forms of damage to the skin: skin irritation, whose causes, frequency, location and forms are great in number and can vary from one individual to another.
