Vit C,Zinc,calendula: Vitamin C and zinc are among the most important nutrients for wound healing and deficiencies of both are common. 1000 mg of C 2x/day & 30 mg of Zinc picolinate may help. Various herbs applied topically are thought to help wound healing- among the best are calendula, plantain and comfrey. Salves containing these are sold at health food stores.
