Healing rates: There are numerous factors that affect healing. The keys to healing is to minimize things that slow it down such as letting the air get to it, not putting the injured area at rest, using certain medications such as advil (ibuprofen) or Motrin that actually slow down healing. Keeping your wound covered and at rest will promote fastest healing.
