I tripped and fell on the stairs and now I have this wound on my forehead. Quickly after the accident we went to the the hospital where the doctor desinfected the wound and glued it together with medical glue. Will it leave a scar? If not, how long will it take to heal?image

It is too early to know if it will leave a scar or not. But if it does, just know it will be likely a very faint/thin scar. Why so ? because your wound was closed with glue instead of being left to heal on its own, therefore it will be less wide.
For the time it will require to heal, it depends. It takes a full a year to know the final result. For younger people, it can even take two years.
So no worry, be patient. And remember if the scar is still too visible after a year for your own liking, treatments are still available like laser therapy to smooth it with surrounding skin.
Take care and i wish you a quick recovery !

The scar might be with you for the rest of your life. The wound will heal and the pain will go away over time.
