Depends. It takes about a month for an entire new layer of skin to grow back. Your skin has multiple layers though, so if the top layer is destroyed, it will be replaced by the second layer, and so forth.

I'm also interested in the answer to this question because I want to know the minimum amount of time I should be on a medication to improve my skin.

Sources online vary considerably! Some say a month, another says 52-77 days and another (although I suspect being a out-liar this is wrong) 300 days! I am going to continue my quest for the truth on this.
