accelerating the healing of small wounds ?

[Aevum]

well, it wasnt the measels, it was the pox,

and now i look like someone has been regularly shooting me with a shotgun,

anyways, im almost passed the infeccious fase, and im gonna need something that can accelerate the healing of small wounds, i was thinking of putting the tea tree oil mask from the body shop to some decent use,

any other thing that my accelerate the healing of small wounds ?

Aloe and vitamin E come to mind.

Other than that: good diet, lots of water, fresh air/light on the face without overexposing.

Hope everything goes well. Measles vs. pox: no winner there.

Neosporin in the cream form should help if you can get it in Spain.
Good luck and get well soon.

Three antibiotics:
Neomycin
Bacitracin
Polymyxin

i kind of avoid antibiotics unless it carries a direct order from a doc,

If you don't want to use Neosporin, even plain petroleum jelly would probably help by keeping the areas from drying out and preventing you from easily scratching the tops off of them.

actually, i was looking trough my stuff and found this aloe cream from my last visit to israel, its an aftersun cream, but it contains aloe, witch hazel and green tea oil, ill see how it does,

Every time I use French green clay now, I use it with a few drops of tea tree oil. This DEFINITELY helps to accelerate the healing of any small wounds, whether they're pimples, ingrowns, etc.

Be sure to save them in a glass jar to show your grand kids.

What would guys on a wetshaving forum know about healing smal wounds on one's face?? :lol:

[ouch]

Walk it off.

Dont scratch them as this will make the scarring worse, wear sunscreen spf 15 and you'll be good to go.

Is it just me, or does that sound like the perfect line to a great novel? Hey, can I steal that line? I'm working on a couple of books and I need a great hook to open one of them with. It's not copyrighted yet is it?

Maybe increase the protein intake in an otherwise well balanced diet. Tissue needs protein to rebuild.

im all healed up, only a couple scars, i´ve been using this thing i found by mistake,
its a gel i bought when i went to visit my brother in israel a few months back, its a aftersun (burn repair) gel, its aloe based, the thing is, that when the zits started poping, i went trough my cabinet looking for whatever i could use to keep the wounds small and clean, so the basics, tea tree oil, iodine, even that QED peppermint and tea tree oil shaving soap came in handy to wash my face in the mornings,
but then i started looking at the ingridients from the aftersun cream and i was like "i cant belive i have this thing sitting here" apparently its a cream based on glycerine, aloe vera, and witch hazel, aswell as a couple of cooling components,

well, lets say i would give my self a coating every few hours, that stuff is great, shame they only sell it in israel, its doctor fishers aloe aftersun cream, its a green gel, comes in a transparent tube, and when its done, its gone,

ha, and use the line, just remember to name the book when its done so i can pick up a copy,
