How can you heal wounds quickly?

Wound healing: This is too general of a question since there are many types of wounds in many different locations that affect the healing rate. There are arterial, venous, pressure, trauma, mixed wound types, vasculitic wounds, just for a short list of the most common types of wounds. Each of these has their own treatment and healing course.

Factors vary: Small superficial wounds can be rinsed with sterile saline or a dermal wound cleanser and dressed with a topical antibiotic ointment and covered with a sterile dressing. Deeper more involved wounds may require a more aggressive approach. See your physician to see what is best for your type of wound.

quick wound healing: The key to rapid healing is to avoid things that slow it down. Never use peroxide, alcohol, betadine or medicines like Motrin or advil (ibuprofen) which slow down healing. Keep the wound covered with moist dressings changed every other day, keep the injured area protected and at rest.
