Vitamin C, Zinc and: Vitamin c & zinc are especially crucial for wound healing; zinc deficiency is common. Try 30 mg of zinc picolinate. Silica & chlorella & gotu kola can also help. Topically i advise a salve with calendula. I use herb pharm original salve (tm)- widely available at health food stores. http://www.naturalnews.com/021797_surgical_procedures_post-surgical_recovery.html.

CHECK DNA NUTRITION: Generally, zinc is needed for wound repair and vitamin c for connective tissue formation. You may have a genetic weakness for certain nutrients or enzymes. Check dna for nutrition deficiencies. This can be done with a simple salivary swab test. The results will let you know where you have weaknesses that need more attention. Use only professional quality supplements for a medical condition.
