[General] I'd punctured the skin again and again

[Elenichka]

Hallo!
Could you explain what the following phrase means:

I’d punctured the skin again and again before it ever had a chance to heal.

Thanks!

Re: Need your help in understanding the phrase

The writer put holes in his skin repeatedly before the old wounds could heal.

Elenichka, it's a sentence – not a phrase.

I've changed your thread title.

Rover_KE, thank you, I'll take into account your remark about the titles.
MikeNewYork, thank you. So, it means, the punctures brought healing in the end, right?

Most punctures will heal eventually.

So, it means, the punctures brought healing in the end, right?

The sentence does not say that. It says the person made new wounds before the old ones had healed. The reader may assume the wounds will heal, but it's not stated.
