Ok I will run to Walgreens quick hopefully nobody stares at me cause I don't want to feel like a cripple or something. :(
 
Aloe Vera, a natural remedy, is underrated.

My FIL burned his face in a gas fire, fixing his truck, but you would not know it today.

They always have some growing, for emergency use.
 
iJohnHenry, I agree with you that Aloe, for burns, is a miracle, but not for a scrape.

Petroleum jelly is fine until you get something else.

The object of the game is to keep a scab from forming. A scab will hide infection and facilitate scarring.
 
Ive been told that if you take a picture and upload it here it heals way faster!
 
No thanks. I don't want to make people throw up.

I went to the doctor, he gave me a moisturizer thing and also said I can continue using my Retin-A stuff at night. My tooth is slightly chipped so I need to get it worked on, possible get it pulled and a fake tooth in. :confused:

Basic tips. I've used Aloe extract before, and had good results with it. Maybe because my skin-type is more accepting of it's benefits.
Either way, you'd be surprized with a little care how a nasty cut / scrape can heal to a barely-noticeable remnant of injury. Just be patient & follow with good cleaning & care.
If it starts to look infected, get yourself to a doctor pronto.
 
So, can we presume your on the mend? ;)

And if you just chipped the tooth, chance better and cheaper getting a crown for it, rather than pulling it and installing an implant.
 
NO! Aloe vera will not help. It is cooling and good for the skin but not for scrapes, it will dry it out and make it scar. )

Clearly you are not familiar with what Aloe Vera is primarly used for. Indeed, it is not ideal for any type of laceration, it will most certainly not dry out the skin.

Google is your friend.

I've used it fresh from the plant way too much! Personal experience is much better than google.:)

Implants can cost upwards of $2000 I think. My friend just got a couple.
 
Aloe Vera is my favorite thing in the world, it tastes good if you cook it right, you can put it on a wound to heal it faster, it helps burns, sunburns, etc. and the plant looks awesome!

I really don't want a crown because it is not my two front teeth but one of the ones behind it I don't want to look like some gangster dude or something. I am doing to the dentist soon so I will find out. My brother is also training to become a dentist for the Navy. :)
 
it is secret but i tell you . BUT if it works well then you should post up your picture ok?
you grind the potatoes then put some on your wounds and eat some too !
work pretty good TRY~
