Asked By:Yasmin B in Sanger, California

If someone accidentally shaved the external skin of their nose down, how long would it take to grow back and heal? For example, would a deep scrape of the nose skin be permanent if there was no blood involved but the thickness of ones nose skin looks and feels thinner?
