What foods will enhance and accelarate skin growth/repair?

I have a large cut, it is also very deep, how can i speed up the healing proccess.





Q2) I also have a little bump on my nose from where i have picked a blackhead, i have had it for about a year now, how can i get rid of it?

What foods will enhance and accelarate skin growth/repair?
Foods with lots of fatty acids in are good for skin repair, like avocados and nuts and oily fish. Berries are also good for skin growth, so try and get lots of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries etc. I think vitamin A is also good, so you could chuck some dried apricots in there too. Can't hurt can it!





As for the little bump on your nose, I think it probably would have healed by now, so you might need to ask the doc what he can do. You could try something from the chemist that helps scars heal, like that Bio oil stuff or something similar.
Reply:When was your last tetanus shot? Deep wounds require immunization against tetanus.





Wash the wound thoroughly with soap and running water. Apply antibiotic ointment (over the counter) from your drug store. Cover with a clean dressing and keep dry. Do this twice a day and be sure to wash the old skin and debris out of the wound.. If it stays gloppy or develops pus you will need to go to a doctor for attention.





A balanced diet that includes protein is all you need. You could take a multivitamin but it shouldn't be necessary. They have creams in the drug store that are supposed to hinder scar formation. Ask the pharmacist. And update that Tetanus shot if it is due.
