A member asked:

I have some carex hand gel that contains aloe vera. will this heal the cut on my leg quickly?

Moisture: Healthy skin requires moisture that can be replenished with lotion. Cuts/injuries require a moist environment to heal. This is often provided with antibiotic ointments. Having healthy, moisturized skin is a good beginning for rapid, healthy, healing.
