Introduction
It usually takes 10–14 days for a wound after granulation tissue removal to heal, although the exact recovery time depends on various factors. After removing the granulation tissue, it is important to keep the wound clean and dry to prevent infection, change dressings regularly, and monitor the healing process. Additionally, pay attention to your diet and avoid spicy or irritating foods such as chili peppers, Sichuan pepper, garlic, etc., as they may impair wound healing.
After removing granulation tissue, it generally takes 10–14 days for the wound to heal, although the exact recovery time depends on various factors. If discomfort occurs, prompt medical attention is recommended. Detailed analysis is as follows:
Granulation tissue appears as red, granular, soft, and moist proliferative tissue. For typical granulation wounds, if the patient has good overall health and proper postoperative care without infection, healing usually takes about 10 days. However, if the patient has poor physical condition or inadequate wound care leading to infection or excessive tissue growth, the regeneration of granulation tissue may be slower, requiring 14 days or even longer for complete recovery.

Additionally, pay attention to diet by avoiding spicy and irritating foods such as chili peppers, Sichuan pepper, and garlic, which may impair wound healing.
