Professional: evaluation, diagnosis and treatment, best performed at your local ER. Wounds must be cleaned. probed for shrapnel,, depth diagnosed. foreign objects removed, tetanus toxid and antibiotic coverage: not exactly "tips or tricks".

Don't smoke: There are several things you can do. First do not smoke cigarettes, this delays healing. Keep the wound clean and dry. Eat healthy food and take a multivitamin daily.

Help,Clean,Eat,Sleep: 4 things 2 help any wound heal faster: 1. Get help from someone who knows what they are doing (a professional). 2. Get the wound clean and keep it clean; foreign bodies and bacteria bring in your immune system which figuratively wages war not healing. 3. Eat healthy--typical western diets are horrid; learn healthy, eat healthy, repeat... 4. Sleep, particularly deep is when the body heals best.
