A member asked:
Is it actually true that aloe gel from the real plant will do any good to skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Aloe vera (aloe barbadensis) can reduce redness, pain, itching & swelling from a burn. It has anesthetic, anti-inflammatory & antibacterial / antifungal qualities. Aloe vera can speed burn healing by stimulating growth of new skin. It can help to prevent keratinisation of new skin growth and thus it may help to minimize scarring & speed the healing process of burns and skin wounds.
