What is the typical resolution timeframe for mild coral scrapes characterized by redness and minor itching?

Within a couple of days

Not all contact with coral or related marine life results in severe, prolonged injury. Minor episodes, often resulting from a superficial brush or contact that generates a mild response, usually have a very short recovery window. These mild rashes are generally characterized by superficial symptoms such as localized redness and minor degrees of itching without significant blistering or deep pain. Because the insult is minimal and confined primarily to the epidermal layers without deep tissue penetration or heavy venom injection, the body's natural healing mechanisms can quickly resolve the irritation. Therefore, these less severe presentations are expected to subside entirely within a short period, often described as resolving within a couple of days, provided secondary infection does not occur.
