Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In particular, the cells in your skin are constantly replacing themselves. The skin does this through the process of regeneration and repair.
Detailed explanation-2: -As long as some of the layers of skin are still in place, new skin will form in the bottom of the wound and along the wound edges. The wound will heal from the bottom up. When a cut or scrape removes all of the layers of skin (a full-thickness avulsion injury), fat and muscle may be visible.
