healing speed: The key is to avoid things that slow down healing. Keeping the wound covered with dressing changes every other day, keeping the injured area at rest, and good nutrition will all promote healing. Avoid unneeded antibiotics unless infected, avoid medicines that slow down healing like Motrin or advil (ibuprofen) and protecting your wound will maximize healing.
