healing

Post by kendra » Sat Feb 03, 2007 8:52 am

I don't know if anything exists but does anyone know if there is anything around that really does speed healing, I have an interview for a volunteer job I really need on wednesday and haven't quite healed from my last fall back. The uniform is short sleeve and I really want them to at least heal and be not so noticable. Any ideas, please.

I always find that an antibacterial ointment, such as Neosporin, helps. Other than that, keep it clean, dry, etc, etc.

Something else I have done when I have needed to wear short sleeves and find it necessary to conceal something, as long as there are no open wounds, is to use a light coating of make-up.

Good luck at your interview!

Love,
Stevie
In Which Something Oooh Occurred

And it felt like a winter machine that you go through and then you catch your breath and winter starts again, and everyone else was springbound. And when I chose to live, there was no joy, it's just a line I crossed. I wasn't worth the pain my death would cost, so I was not lost or found....But when you live in a world, well, it gets in to who you th ought you'd be. And now I laugh at how the world changed me. I think life chose me after all.

Unfortunately, nothing is going to make them disappear that fast.

Healing to be unnoticeable is more a long term effort.

Take vitamin E tablets.

And use bio-oil as soon as they heal.

It's the best thing there is in my opinion, and like.. I've tried *everything*.

Good luck with the interview :clover:
