Will skin grow back after being cauterized?
Skin will not grow over a cauterized area. Cauterization is a process of destroying tissue by burning it with heat. This method is often used to stop bleeding or to remove unwanted tissue, such as warts or skin tags. When tissue is cauterized, the cells are destroyed and the wound is left open to heal. The body's natural healing process will form a scab over the wound, and this scab will eventually fall off, leaving behind a scar.
