Hi. The one thing that healed up quickly was my neck skin. One day I gave it a gentle scrub with a face cloth and dead skin just washed away. I wouldn't recommend that but remember thinking how incredible it was to go from a big collar-like bandage around my neck to normal skin again with a week or two.

Good luck with everything else. I hope time works it's magic before too long:)
